Since the 2020 offseason, rumors have been continuously swirling around All-Star point guard Kemba Walker and his future with the Boston Celtics. Though he s yet to become officially available, some believe that the Celtics should strongly consider using Walker as a trade chip to improve their frontcourt before the 2021 trade deadline. One of the dream trade targets for the Celtics is Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz.
In a recent article, Mark Nilon of
Fansided s Hardwood Houdini included Gobert on the list of players that Walker is worth trading for. After recently inking a massive contract extension, it remains a big question mark whether Gobert and the Jazz would consider parting ways before the 2021 trade deadline. However, if Utah changed their mind about keeping him long-term, Nilon believes that Celtics president of basketball operations and general manager Danny Ainge shouldn t think twice before engaging in a blockbuster deal with the Jazz centered Walker and Gobert.
