After yesterday's DeMar DeRozan trade proposal from ClutchPoints...I thought it would be fun to look at some realistic trade targets for the Celtics, with a focus on adding depth to the big-man rotation.

Some fleeting thoughts on the Celtics uptick in long two-point attempts…
The Celtics' shot profile is changing, just not how we expected - NESN.com
The Boston Celtics are taking more two-point attempts this season, they're just not coming from where fans would like them to.

The Celtics haven't been taking many corner threes this season. It's one of the bigger changes from recent years.
According to Cleaning The Glass they didn't take a single corner threes in non-garbage time minutes last night.
Having someone cutting baseline out of the corner is a neat wrinkle

Lot's more off-ball activity to start this game.
Here the Celtics run "Angle Ram" to get a Minott/PP screening action.
Followed by running "Chest" for White to flare out to the weak side slot.
PP goes for the step back. Good process nonetheless. Way better fluidity.

Celtics go back to the Chest action here (player executes a ghost screen to come off a flare screen) PP turns down the shot and finds Neemy on the lob.
The movement so far has been SO MUCH better

I took a *probably too early* look at the White and Pritchard’s struggles to begin the season.
- What could be causing their slump
-How has their volume changed
- How has their shot profile changed
And dove into why their slumps could be occurring.

The slump won't last forever, but right now, White and Pritchard are both STRUGGLING from deep, going a combined 24-of-109 from the perimeter -- a combined 22% conversion rate from deep

I know you're being sarcastic, but Pritchard out rebounded the ENTIRE big man rotation last night.
He had more boards than Neemy, Garza and Boucher combined...

Who would have thought playing a bunch of shooting guards and one center would have them last in rebounding?

Jaylen Brown over the first 3 games of the season
89 points
16 rebounds
11 assists
13 turnovers
48.8% from 2
50% from 3
The turnovers are still a problem for him. Outside of that, he's had a strong start.
