Excerpt from ‘Boston Celtics: Unlikely that starter gets traded at deadlines’ article by Andrew Hughes:
The Boston Celtics starting five in 2021-22 was 12 points/100 possessions better than the second-best team and had the best defensive rating, while also ranking third in offensive rating per NBC Sports Boston’s Max Lederman.
To say they need to make a change to that group would be borderline sacrilege for those who followed last season’s run to the Finals closely — even if we haven’t seen how they’d fare yet this season under Joe Mazzulla.
In answering a question about whether or not the front office would consider moving the expiring contract of Al Horford, MassLive’s Brian Robb shut down the possibility of finding a deal for the 36-year-old big man:
“Horford is a trade asset as a big expiring but I don’t see any real scenario in which the Celtics move him this year. He’s clearly an integral part of the team’s starting five and a respected leader in the locker room. Moving a piece like him midseason would shake the team’s foundation and there is just no reason to do that on a title contender. He’s not going to fetch much in the deal so the Celtics would be far better off keeping him around as long as he’s willing to play for reasonable money.”
