Boston Celtics

Potential Trade: http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hczl872

Portland Trail Blazers receive: David Lee, Tyler Zeller
Boston Celtics receive: Gerald Henderson

The Celtics have a glut of talented big men and could certainly use another athletic wing player who could give Brad Stevens more lineup flexibility. The Celtics would probably like to get off of David Lee’s contract and the Blazers have plenty of cap space to absorb Lee and send far less salary to Boston.

I love the idea of the Blazers being able to steal Tyler Zeller. Lee wouldn’t provide much value to the Blazers, but Zeller is a productive rotation-level center who will be a restricted free agent this offseason. Zeller’s restricted free agency would give the Blazers even more flexibility in constructing their roster going forward (they could match an offer, let him walk, or sign and trade him).

I also like the idea of trying to get the Celtics to throw in one of Jordan Mickey, Terry Rozier, or Jonas Jerebko if they don’t want to trade Zeller.
