Proposed Celtics trade would land $9 million dollar guard in Boston to increase roster depth

The Boston Celtics pretty much have a superstar starting five, and a few stars to come off the bench right away. However, their deep bench could use a little work. In a proposed trade by Celtics on SI’s Ryan Stano, the Celtics could increase their depth by acquiring Shake Milton from the Brooklyn Nets. 

This season, Milton is averaging seven points, two rebounds, and two assists in 18 minutes of playing time. He also is shooting a nice 38% from deep. 

In the trade, the Celtics would get Milton, and the Nets would get Jaden Springer and a second-rounder. This works for the Nets because they aren’t in a position to win at all, and getting a young prospect and an asset could be useful for a future rebuild. 

For the Celtics, they get someone who can come off the bench and fit into their play style seamlessly. He is a great defender, and can come off the bench and launch threes. 

Should the Celtics consider this trade? Possibly. Their past few games have been a little hectic, and getting some bench depth could help resolve that.
