The Boston Celtics remain focused on Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon and Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes as the 2021 NBA trade deadline draws near according to Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix.
Noting that the Celtics seem poised to use “some or all of its $28.5 million trade exception” generated by the departure of veteran forward Gordon Hayward in the offseason, Mannix relates that the team has “swapped offers with Orlando and have shown a willingness to deal All Defensive team guard Marcus Smart” to the likely chagrin of many fans.
