Celtics reportedly showing trade interest in Mavericks big man

As Brad Stevens and the rest of the Celtics’ top brass seek avenues to upgrade Boston’s frontcourt before the NBA trade deadline, a new target is reportedly in the mix.

A week after Michael Scotto of Hoopshype reported that the Celtics were one of the teams expressing interest in trading for Clippers center Ivica Zubac, longtime NBA insider Marc Stein reported on Sunday that Boston is one of three teams who have checked in on Dallas Mavericks big man Daniel Gafford.

Both the Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers have also kicked the tires on Gafford, Stein added.
