3. Boston Celtics- Kelly Olynyk is obviously not a favorite of coach Brad Stevens, and that is quite obvious by the 24.5 minutes averaged per contest —  while being surrounded by the likes of Tyler Zeller, Brandon Bass, and for a brief period in late December to early January, Brandan Wright.

Olynyk, without a doubt would give Brooklyn the kind of flex-shooting from a big Mason Plumlee could seriously use to get some size out of the paint on the offensive glass. This would spread the floor even more so for Jarret Jack to drive the ball into the lane.

Getting a first-round pick in this deal, plus Olynyk, would certainly be a dream scenario, but a second-round pick in the upcoming draft from a team who is set to finish as poorly as the Celtics, would not be a bad consolation to the deal at all.
