3 Realistic Trade Targets the Celtics Must Consider When NBA Trade Season Opens
By Joe Summers
3. Reggie Bullock, Houston Rockets
The Celtics were linked to Bullock in the offseason before he joined the Rockets on a one-year deal, and Boston would enjoy the services of one of the better three-and-D wings in the league.
He's played sparingly for a surprisingly stout Rockets squad, getting less than 10 minutes per game in the 10 he's played after playing 30+ minutes last year. As a result, I doubt it'd take much to acquire Bullock and add him to the cache of quality wings in Boston.
Last night's game was only the 2nd one of the season in which Reggie Bullock hit multiple 3s.

He provided a nice spark. It's a nice change of pace to have a player other than Fred who prioritizes the 3 point shot. Every other player would've driven into the defense here pic.twitter.com/UC7YqGTjP7
Bullock shoots over 38% on three-pointers for his career with a physical defensive playing style that'll blend in well with the Celtics' established stars.
Theoretically, he could form a menacing defensive trio with Jaylen Brown and Jrue Holiday while Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis lead the offense. At the very least, he's worth the Celtics' brass making a phone call about.
For a pair of second-round picks or a similar price? That could mean the difference between winning a championship and going home early again.
