Why This Trade Would Benefit The Boston Celtics

The Celtics made a run to the Eastern Conference Finals a season ago. They are not looking like that same team and it’s because their death is depleted. As we approach the NBA All-Star break, the Celtics need to keep pace with the other top teams in Eastern Conference.

Boston has watched teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers improve before their eyes. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are having elite seasons once again but there are a few pieces to rely on after.

Kemba Walker has missed some time with an injury and has been featured in some NBA trade rumors. He might not be on the team down the stretch of the season or come playoff time. Boston needs to put the right players around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. That is what Robert Covington would be.

The Celtics have a history of success. That has not changed over the years that they are looking to get back to the championship weeks. This is not a move that would excite many fans but it would give them a highly productive player on both ends they would be able to contribute right away.
