The Celtics swept the Nets in the first round of the series, but their fiasco in the first game of the second series can also be seen that the Bucks may still have some flaws in their competitive strength.
Because of this, the US media James Pearsey has considered a potential move this offseason for this Celtics. James Pearsey's advice to the Celtics is to try to get Celtic star Damian Lillard in two trades:
Scenario 1:
The Blazers get: Derek White, Al Horford, Grant Williams, 2023 first-round picks, 2025 first-round picks, 2027 first-round picks
Celtic gets: Damian Lillard
Scenario two:
Blazers get: Gordon Hayward, Grant Williams, Aaron Neismith, 2022 first-round picks (from the Hornets), 2023 first-round picks (from Celtics), 2025 first-round picks (from Celtics), 2027 first-round picks (from Celtics)
Hornets get: Al Horford
Celtic gets: Damian Lillard
Such two blockbuster deals would allow the Celtics to get a super backcourt like Lillard, and it's safe to say that getting Lillard would indeed make the Celtics a better team pair, and if the Celtics want to continue to build championship-winning teams around Tatum and Brown, it will be worth it at the expense of multiple future draft picks and some tough players.
It's just that the plan two is not so realistic to promote a three-way deal with the Hornets, after all, the Hornets getting Horford does not seem to bring particularly great benefits to the team.
