As trade deadline speculation heats up, BD Cricket Live followers have turned their attention to the Boston Celtics, who are reportedly zeroing in on two prolific scorers: Lou Williams and Tyreke Evans. According to sources from the Western Conference, the Celtics are actively exploring trade packages for either guard, though the key will be what Boston is willing to offer in return. While General Manager Danny Ainge is known for his bold moves, it seems he’s waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
Both Williams and Evans are seen as top priorities for Boston as the team looks to bolster its bench scoring ahead of the playoffs. The Clippers have indicated they are open to offers for Williams, but given his career-best performance this season, they’re not letting him go cheaply. Evans, meanwhile, is drawing strong interest from multiple teams, including the Celtics and the Memphis Grizzlies, who are holding out for a first-round pick.
Adding to the trade buzz is Avery Bradley, who was recently sent to the Clippers as part of the Blake Griffin deal. Bradley, one of the league’s premier perimeter defenders, is now rumored to be on the move again. The Oklahoma City Thunder are reportedly eager to acquire him as a replacement for the injured Andre Roberson. Though Bradley lacks Roberson’s height and wingspan, his defensive prowess is top-tier, and he brings more offensive firepower to the floor.
Bradley is also on an expiring $8.8 million contract, making him a financially flexible option. His value is further heightened by the fact that OKC had previously shown strong interest in him during the NBA draft. However, a trade won’t come easy. The Thunder lack a first-round pick and are reluctant to part with rookie Terrance Ferguson, which complicates negotiations.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are firm on their asking price for Evans. With Boston already landing Greg Monroe, some believed the team’s roster changes were complete. But according to The Boston Herald, the Celtics are still pursuing both Williams and Evans in hopes of adding one more lethal scorer before the deadline hits.
For Celtics fans and basketball enthusiasts watching every trade ripple on BD Cricket Live, this latest development signals that Danny Ainge isn’t done dealing. With the Eastern Conference heating up and the Finals within reach, Boston’s front office seems determined to add one more weapon to its arsenal. Whether it’s the electric scoring of Lou Williams or the versatile playmaking of Tyreke Evans, one thing’s for sure—BD Cricket Live will be tracking every twist and turn as the deadline approaches.
