Oh man, Dorian Finney-Smith would be a NICE get. I don't see a deal though, Celts don't really have the contacts.

Not gonna happen, but after that Bucks game last night I would package these 5 players for DF-S!

Maybe you might want to settle for the other DFS, Dennis Freakin' Smith!

Jevon Carter looks like he’s been benched since Lavine’s come back. All indications are he’s been quite bad this year but still.

[Smart2Nesmith43]

Saddiq Bey is second in total minutes played out of the 2020 draft (behind Edwards but in front of Haliburton, Maxey and Bane) which I didn't expect. Probably doesn't mean much beyond the fact that he doesn't miss games and he can eat a bunch of regular season minutes but those aren't the worse trait in what would be the 7/8th man in the rotation.

BOS in: JaeSean Tate, Boban Marjanovic, Aaron Holiday
BOS out: Lamar Stevens, Svi Mykhailiuk, Dalano Banton, 2nds to Houston

HOU in: Lamar Stevens, Svi Mykhailiuk, Dalano Banton and 2nds from Boston
HOU out: JaeSean Tate, Boban Marjanovic, Aaron Holiday

Holiday is playing well and Houston is still in play-in contention, so not sure they'll let him go for minimal compensation but Tate seems like he's going to get squeezed out with the number of promising wings they've got so could be an option.

If Holiday isn't an option then maybe swing in Memphis for Konchar:

BOS in: JaeSean Tate, Boban Marjanovic, John Konchar
BOS out: Lamar Stevens, Svi Mykhailiuk, Dalano Banton, 2nds to Houston

HOU in: Lamar Stevens, Svi Mykhailiuk, 2nds from Boston
HOU out: JaeSean Tate, Boban Marjanovic

MEM in: Dalano Banton
MEM out: John Konchar

Not entirely sold that Konchar/Tate are actually better options than Svi/Stevens, but the latter pair doesn't seem like they've gotten any traction in terms of breaking through. I'd be fine paying a 2nd or two to swap them for flyers on alternative options (I consider it a plus that both are signed beyond this year just for the fact that they create salary slots to a make moves in the future).

Plus Boban would be really fun at the end of the bench as a mascot.

This is a bad year to need a backup small forward as it seems several other contending teams are in the market.
