Why Domantas Sabonis Is — and Isn't — a Perfect Trade Candidate for the Celtics
The three-time All-Star has been linked to the Celtics before and is back in trade rumors.
Domantas Sabonis, the three-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA finalist, is in the market for a new team as he changes representation and approaches his 2028 free agency. While the Boston Celtics have shown interest in the versatile big man, there are arguments both for and against pursuing a trade. The Celtics could benefit greatly from Sabonis' playmaking abilities and offensive versatility, potentially taking some pressure off Jayson Tatum.
However, Sabonis' limited three-point shooting and defensive capabilities might not align perfectly with the Celtics' system. Moreover, the cost of acquiring Sabonis, potentially including a first-round pick, is a significant consideration for the Celtics.
