Clippers send Ibaka, Morris, Bledsoe
Clippers get: Wall, BOS 2022 1st
Rockets send: Wall, House

Celtics send Horford, 2022 1st
Celtics get: Morris, House
I can't tell if that's awful or really good
Think the Celtics FO is more attached to Horford than they realistically should be. They seem pretty comfortable with his role for next season and how he fits in. Personally I'm really worried about father time looming around the corner for Horford and him falling off, but I'd say they'd be looking for a significant change/upgrade for the move. So unless he's being used as salary ballast in a trade for a star, I think he sticks around at the very least until the deadline.
Given that context, I don't think the above would work for C's. Morris can't give depth at the 5 and C's just paid a first already to dump Kemba for Horford, doubt they pay the same price to turn that into Morris/House.
Maybe if it was Ibaka instead it'd be more appealing since he's more of a 4/5, but even in that circumstance I don't see them tacking on a first. More likely they add in a guy like Romeo Langford who has disappointed due to health, but is still on his rookie deal so they can still offer the Nets-esque pick package for a disgruntled star.
Christian Wood is my ideal PF pairing for Robert Williams, so I'm hoping that if Houston goes the firesale route and he somehow ends up on the table that the C's can find a way to get him.
