Boston Celtics Receive: G Kevin Pangos, F Dylan Windler, SAS 2022 2nd Round Pick (via CLE)

If value presents itself for Dennis Schroder, the Boston Celtics need to take it because they need more assets to try and make a big move. With Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, Boston is definitely a playoff threat, but they need more talent to be considered an overall championship threat.

Dennis Schroder would be an excellent fit in Cleveland not only because of his patience on the offensive-end of the floor, but because of his ability to create space for others.
