With Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum at the helm, the Boston Celtics have been perennial Eastern Conference powers. Once again, Boston has topped the Eastern Conference with a record of 30–9. For the 18th time in franchise history, the squad is back in the Һunt for a championship.

This has been the same plot point for several seasons running now. Even though they’ve had good seasons, the current Celtics have failed to deliver in the NBA Playoffs. Some supporters are worried that Boston, despite their strong play during the regular season, would repeat their disappointing outcomes.

When all is said and done, one could ask if Brad Stevens, the Celtics’ president of basketball operations, is planning to make any roster changes before the trade deadline. Here are three agreements that Stevens could strike that would lead Boston to its 18th championship.

The Boston Celtics certainly made a smart move by trading for Kristaps Porzingis, a former All-Star center. Porzingis can still put up star-level numbers, even though he isn’t called an All-Star anymore. Nonetheless, the Latvian center is the team’s sole dependable center right now. To compleme𝚗t Porzingis, Boston requires more capable big me𝚗.

Despite their flaws, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta have recently demonstrated great promise, and they are the only understudies Kristaps Porzingis has as of this writing. But if the Celtics are serious about winning their 18th championship, they should prioritize signing a more versatile big man like Kristaps Porzingis. When the Latvian big man rests, the club won’t have to worry as much about their inside game.

Although the Boston Celtics are currently the top NBA team, it doesn’t imply they’re perfect. The current Boston roster has a lot of youth, especially on the bench, which could be an issue in the playoffs. Even though they have Al Horford as their second unit leader, it wouldn’t hurt to add a couple more seasoned players.

The Detroit Pistons’ Danilo Gallinari is one veteran who springs to mind. Just a short time ago, Gallinari was thought of as one of the top bench players you could ask for. Even though his stats have dropped dramatically, his expertise could give Boston’s bench a boost in the playoffs.

The Celtics might make a last-ditch move and trade one of their top players for another with championship history, even though team president Brad Stevens has stated categorically that they do not have the capital to make any major transactions at this time.

The nаme Klay Thompson immediately comes to mind as an athlete. The Warriors of Golden State are dropping hints that they may deal Thompson shortly. If Boston wants to go all out in the upcoming playoffs, they might use this opportunity to trade Al Horford, one role player, and a handful of draft selections for Thompson. Despite his decline, Thompson is still capable of putting up respectable scoring totals.
