BOSTON CELTICS REVEALED THEIR NEXT TRANSFER TARGET-JORDAN CLARKSON

The Boston Celtics’ attempt to win the NBA Finals was narrowly unsuccessful, albeit in Games 5 and 6 against the Golden State Warriors, it appeared more appropriate to describe their performance as “far short.” As a result, the team’s current offseason strategy is to climb over the hump by making a few more chess pieces.

Brad Stevens, the President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics, hasn’t given any indication that he will do nothing while the other teams in the league figure out how to catch up to Steve Kerr, Steph Curry, and the Dynastic Dubs—a throwback to the days before the pandemic.

Throughout his nine years in the league, which begin with his time as the Boston Celtics’ head coach, Stevens has developed a number of contacts that will be beneficial to him in his role as head of the front office.

The relationship he had with his previous employer Danny Ainge is one that might be extremely beneficial to him. Ainge is currently an executive in the Utah Jazz front office, and in light of the Jazz’s historically poor postseason performance, he may be planning an overhaul this summer, or at least a quasi-rebuild.

After being selected by the Jazz nine years prior, Rudy Gobert is one Utah trade target who is anticipated to eventually find a new home. Gobert, who notoriously contracted and publicly disseminated COVID-19 in the early stages of the epidemic, has failed to make it to the Western Conference finals three times in a row while playing with Donovan Mitchell, a player Utah would presumably rather develop around.

Jordan Clarkson, another Jazz player who Ainge would suggest the front office trade for, is someone that BSS’s Dan Greenberg suggested as a possible TPE target:

Brad Stevens will have a fascinating summer as he attempts to identify the key players from this NBA Finals run.

Given their comparable salary, if he doesn’t see super-sub Derrick White in that regard, he may be utilised in a Clarkson deal. If that’s the general foundation of the contract, young guns Udoka Azubuike or Jared Butler might be thrown in given the couple million dollar differential.

Daniel Theis may be another starting player the Cs can work out a deal for, if the starting five is off-limits.
