WATCH: Should the Boston Celtics trade for Atlanta’s John Collins?

At .500 later into the season than they have been in many years after embarrassing losses to the Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards, fans of the Boston Celtics are increasingly falling in love with the idea of a big trade to shake things up.

But does the young big make sense given he’s likely getting a big raise in the offseason, and the Hawks may want a very competitive offer to consider the move in the first place?

Check out the debate on this topic by the folks at CLNS’ “The Garden Report” podcast, and decide for yourself whether it would be worth pushing in all the chips on a player who might just be a rental.
