What do you guys say about any of these hypothetical trades Bleacher Report is mentioning and what would happen if these players were traded, despite how unlikely they are?
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2914155-1-surprise-trade-idea-for-every-nba-teamLet's say e.g. Celtics get Rudy Gobert from Utah Jazz, Celtics could use a good center right now, that has a good number of rebounds per game. Something that current Celtics centers lack. An ideal center would also need a high number of assists per game but Gobert isn't much different from the current centers in that area.
No offense to Rudy, he is a good and defensive player, but I don't see him a perfect fit for the Celtics, they are not that type of slowing down offense, they love to run specially with Kemba and Tatum and that's why they don't need a good center. NBA centers are getting smaller, and shoot the ball, which Rudy doesn't possessed, he will more of a liability to a Celtics which are built around a good point guard and a wing man. They just needed a good leader and chemistry.
It's hard to tell that way, Celtics has been playing with small centers but look where they are now, maybe if they sign Gobert, that means they see some potential for the big guy that could help the team, every strategy can be change and I think Celtics are willing to adjust for the improvement of the team.
