Report: Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics ‘moved on’ from Dennis Schroder trade talks

There may be one less suitor for Boston Celtics veteran reserve guard Dennis Schroder at the 2022 NBA trade deadline than previously reported according to The Action Network’s Matt Moore.

Moore had previously reported that the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls were both targeting Schroder before the Thursday moratorium for exchanging players between teams during the 2021-22 NBA season arrives at 3 pm ET on Thursday, Feb. 10. Now, in an article updating his most recent findings, he updates his reporting to share that the Bucks and Celtics have since moved on from those talks, leaving only the Bulls as a likely trade partner.

This doesn’t mean that the Celtics would necessarily end up dealing the German guard according to Moore, however, with Boston having “several mechanisms” to achieve one of their primary objectives besides improving the roster — getting under the luxury tax.

Cryptically, Moore relates that the Celtics could do so in ways that “don’t require trades,” and that they have also “explored the market for P.J. Dozier,” whose Bird Rights the team possesses.
