We all know that the Boston Celtics have been in desperate need of an upgrade in the frontcourt, and the latest NBA trade report indicates they might have a perfect scenario to acquire Brook Lopez from the Los Angeles Clippers.
According to NBA salary cap analyst Yossi Gozlan, the Clippers may look to shed salary as we approach the trade deadline given their salary cap situation. LA is currently $6.8 million above the luxury tax, and Gozlan says that they may look to make trades to get below that number. “This will be a priority since ducking the tax this year would reset their repeater clock for the next three seasons," he says.
