The Celtics’ offseason has already been action packed. The team moved Brad Stevens from head coach to president after Danny Ainge stepped down, it traded Kemba Walker for Al Horford, and will hire Ime Udoka to be its next head coach.
The action might not end there.
Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum has been the subject of trade rumors in recent weeks, and the Celtics could be a team in the mix to get him, The Athletic’s Trail Blazers beat writer Jason Quick wrote in a mailbag column.
“I’ve also heard Boston could be interested in a player like McCollum, and I’ve always thought Marcus Smart and his defense would be a great pairing in Portland (obviously it would take more to make salaries match, but Smart would be a great start),” Quick wrote.
