Celtics' Mitchell Robinson Already Being Viewed as Eventual Trade Candidate

The Boston Celtics, after losing a crucial game against the Detroit Pistons due to a blown lead, are already being considered by some as a potential trade candidate. This comes after Mitchell Robinson, the team's newest acquisition from the New York Knicks, struggled during the game, appearing in only 18 minutes and scoring just four points with three rebounds.

He managed to block two shots, but overall, his performance was not up to the mark. Though trading him isn't being actively discussed at the moment, the team is keeping an eye on potential trade options for him. One such player mentioned is Trey Murphy, who the Celtics signed last year. Murphy has been viewed as a trade candidate himself, with his three-point shooting scaling up in volume and movement, making him a valuable asset for any team.

However, trading for Murphy would involve giving up some of the Celtics' tradable contracts and a significant number of first-round picks, which could be a challenging task. Currently, the New Orleans Pelicans show no sign of moving away from Murphy, but their interest could change if the team struggles again this season. As the Celtics prepare for the upcoming season, they continue to navigate through these trade possibilities while focusing on rebuilding their roster.
