Celtics trade rumors: 3 players could leave ahead of the deadline

#1 Terry Rozier

Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics

There is no doubting that Terry Rozier has no long term future in Boston, although the Celtics may want to keep the 24-year-old until at the end of the season as Rozier is among the best back up point guards in the league. During last seasons playoffs, Rozier averaged 16.5 points, 5.7 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per contest and once again this season, Scary Terry has stepped up in games that Irving has missed through injury.

Nevertheless, Rozier has throughout the season expressed his discontent at being a backup, and a number of teams around the NBA are currently on the lookout for a new point guard. The likes of the Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans have all been linked with Rozier, and with the point guard set to become a restricted free agent this summer, the Celtics may make the tough decision to trade him ahead of the deadline.
