The Boston Celtics are in a unique position to make a splash at the 2026 NBA trade deadline. Boston has an attractice collection of draft assets, quality players on team-friendly contracts, and a proven history of bringing the best out of underutilized talent.
With this in mind, Boston should at least kick the tires after learning that former No. 1 overall draft pick Zaccharie Risacher is available in trade discussions.
The Atlanta Hawks selected Risacher at No. 1 overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. He earned All-Rookie First Team recognition in 2024-25, but Atlanta appears underwhelmed by the progress he's made and is now exploring its options.
