Are the Boston Celtics favorites to win the 2023 NBA title after Malcolm Brogdon trade, Danilo Gallinari deal?
Should we consider the Boston Celtics the odds-on favorites to win the 2023 NBA title after they made a series of major moves to bolster their bench rotation on Friday? The team first went out and convinced veteran forward Danilo Gallinari to sign with the team on a two-season mini-midlevel exception.
Then, the Celtics followed it up with a mini- blockbuster of a trade that sent out veteran big man Daniel Theis, reserve wing Aaron Nesmith, and deep rotation options Nik Stauskas, Malik Fitts, and Juwan Morgan plus a 2023 first-round draft pick for Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon.
Lost in the shuffle of all the major moves, Boston also brought back veteran reserve center Luke Kornet, with a stouter reserve big man the only major move the team has yet to accomplish. And that they did all this without surrendering a rotation player is quite impressive.
