Celtics rumors: 3 trade targets to replace Kemba Walker – Kyle Lowry

This move would be very high risk, but if it works Boston will be lifting a championship banner. Kyle Lowry would be a significant upgrade from Kemba Walker.

Lowry has been a key part of the Raptors organization for a long time now., but with the team struggling, they might want to move on from the veteran.

Even though he is in his mid-30’s, Lowry is still putting up great numbers. So far this season he is averaging 17.7 points and 6.5 assists a game. Adding that to Tatum and Brown would make the Celtics a serious contender.

The issue is that Lowry has an expiring contract. It likely could be a one and done deal for Boston. If they are unable to re-sign him and they fail to win a championship, it could be a massive disaster.

But if the Celtics win or they are able to keep Lowry in Boston, it could be a massive success for the C’s.

So the Celtics definitley have some options to replace Kemba. These moves could turn things around for the C’s and help them win a championship.
