Celtics land rising star big man and star guard in proposed blockbuster three-team trade…

The Boston Celtics have been involved in significant trade discussions aimed at enhancing their roster for the 2024-2025 NBA season. A notable proposal involves a three-team trade with the Brooklyn Nets and the Detroit Pistons. In this scenario, the Celtics would acquire shooting guard Cam Thomas from the Nets and center Jalen Duren from the Pistons. The proposed trade details are as follows:

Celtics receive: Cam Thomas (Nets) and Jalen Duren (Pistons).

Pistons receive: Day’Ron Sharpe (Nets), a 2028 first-round pick swap from the Celtics, and a 2028 second-round draft pick from the Nets.

Nets receive: Al Horford (Celtics), a 2025 first-round pick from the Celtics, a 2026 second-round pick from the Celtics, and a 2030 first-round pick swap from the Celtics.

This trade would provide the Celtics with a dynamic young scorer in Thomas and a promising big man in Duren, potentially strengthening their lineup for the upcoming season.

It’s important to note that this trade is currently a proposal and has not been finalized. The Celtics have a history of engaging in significant trades to bolster their roster. In June 2023, they acquired Kristaps Porziņģis from the Washington Wizards in a three-team deal that sent Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies.
