NBA regular season continues. In this season full of challenges and opportunities, there is one team that is still trying to seek progress, and that is the Celtics, which currently ranks first in the league. According to the latest report from the famous reporter Shams, this team with championship aspirations is not satisfied with the status quo, but is actively looking for players in the trade market who can further improve their strength. Their target is the Pistons' young inside man Isaiah Stewart.
The Celtics have shown impressive strength this season. Under the leadership of coach Udoka, they have made great progress and lead the Eastern Conference with an excellent record of 20 wins and 5 losses. But like many success stories, their goals were not limited to the status quo but the pursuit of greater glory. With the strength of the starting five already strong enough, and can even be said to be the strongest in the league, they hope to use the trade market to find players who can further improve the depth of the bench.
And Stewart is the ideal candidate in their eyes. The Pistons' young post player averaged 10.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game this season, shooting 45.5% from the field and 36.7% from three-point range. His performance is good enough, but more importantly, his contract will take effect next season, which also means that the Celtics do not need to pay an excessive price in the process of introducing him. Stewart's performance with the Pistons has always attracted attention. His physical fitness and defensive ability make him a young player with potential. The Celtics hope to enhance the team's rebounding and interior defense capabilities by introducing Stewart. Led by players such as Tatum, Brown and Horford, the Celtics already have a strong enough starting lineup, but their bench needs further improvement. Many people say that Stewart is James' nemesis. If he joins the Celtics, he can help on the defensive end. Moreover, Stewart once chased and beat James throughout the game, which shows how hot-tempered this person is!
In addition to Stewart, the Celtics are also eyeing players on other markets. They have some valuable trade assets, including future draft picks and young players, that they could use to make a trade. These assets are the price they have to pay in pursuit of a championship. The success of the Celtics' reinforcement plan will depend on their operations in the trade market and the integration of players. If they can successfully introduce Stewart or other quality players, their chances of winning the championship will be greatly increased. Whether it is coach Udoka or the players on the team, they all understand this truth: only by constantly pursuing progress can they stand out in this competitive basketball world. Let’s wait and see if the Celtics can realize their championship dream this season
