Which hypothetical ‘superteam’ would make more sense for the Boston Celtics?
That the Boston Celtics may be on the hunt to add a third star to their core of All-Star forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum is perhaps one of the worst-kept secrets in the wider NBA world.

That being said, there is a limited pool of potential targets who would make sense, and fewer still likely to be available.
