Through the first 27 games, Boston currently sits in 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings at 13-14. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This simply isn&#8217;t a championship-caliber roster as currently constructed, but that could change soon thanks to a $17.1 million ace the Celtics have up their sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-boston-celtics-are-barely-clinging-to-a-playoff-spot\">The Boston Celtics are barely clinging to a playoff spot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1250\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Celtics.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=839&#038;strip=all&#038;quality=89\" alt=\"The Boston Celtics would be wise to your their $17.1 million trade exception.\" class=\"wp-image-1454228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Celtics.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Celtics.jpg?w=300&amp;h=246 300w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Celtics.jpg?w=768&amp;h=629 768w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Celtics.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=839 1024w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Celtics.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=983 1200w, https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Celtics.jpg?w=73&amp;h=60 73w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px\" \/><figcaption>The Boston Celtics bench celebrates during a game against the Toronto Raptors | Stuart Cahill\/MediaNews Group\/Boston Herald<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Celtics got off to an unexpectedly slow start to the season. Boston went just 2-5 in its first seven games, and at 13-14 a quarter of the way through the season, the team just hasn&#8217;t looked like the NBA Finals contender it&#8217;s been in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the Celtics&#8217; struggles can be explained by Jaylen Brown missing 14 of a possible 27 games. Brown has battled injuries and COVID-19 all year, so it&#8217;s been tough for Boston to find any chemistry on the court with their superstar forward bouncing in and out of the lineup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With just a few weeks left in 2021, the Celtics are barely clinging to a playoff spot at 10th in the Eastern Conference. And judging by what we&#8217;ve seen from this team thus far, the play-in tournament might be the best-case scenario for Boston by the end of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-celtics-have-a-17-1-million-ace-up-their-sleeve\">Celtics have a $17.1 million ace up their sleeve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">According to a league source, the Celtics created a $17.1 million trade exception in the Fournier sign-and-trade.<\/p>&mdash; Adam Himmelsbach (@AdamHimmelsbach) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdamHimmelsbach\/status\/1427639617029869569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 17, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Celtics are serious about contending for the Eastern Conference crown next summer, they&#8217;ll need to be aggressive in trade talks over the next few months. Rumors have surfaced recently that Boston is interested in a Ben Simmons-Jaylen Brown swap, but Brad Stevens has a secret weapon at his disposal that would allow him to add a much-needed piece without giving up one of his best assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the offseason, the Celtics sent Evan Fournier to the New York Knicks in a sign-and-trade deal, which created a $17.1 million trade exception for Boston to use within one year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/what-is-an-nba-trade-exception-and-how-does-it-work\/\">If you aren&#8217;t familiar with trade exceptions in the NBA<\/a>, let&#8217;s break them down quickly. They essentially act as vouchers for teams to use in future trades. In this case, the Celtics can use their exception to trade for a player or multiple players with salaries that add up to $17.1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, Boston has a $17.1 million coupon to spend on trades before February&#8217;s deadline or at some point next offseason. And after a disappointing start to the season, it&#8217;s time to cash that coupon in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-time-is-running-out-on-jaylen-brown-and-jayson-tatum\">Time is running out on Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Do the Celtics Have the Right Core?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a5p8JZqaN2I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re now in Year 5 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/paul-pierce-gets-blunt-about-what-the-boston-celtics-should-do-with-jayson-tatum-and-jaylen-brown-my-theory-proves-right\/\">Jaylen Brown-Jayson Tatum era<\/a>. With both players now entering their primes, the Celtics should be improving instead of taking a step back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this already looks to be the worst version of the Brown-Tatum Celtics. At this point, Stevens owes it to both players to build a championship-caliber roster around them this year. If they still can&#8217;t reach the NBA Finals with a revamped roster, it might be a sign to go in another direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for trade targets, Boston should take a look at Domantas Sabonis or Dejounte Murray. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/former-eastern-conference-contender-throwing-in-towel-could-have-just-become-option-philadelphia-ben-simmons-trade\/\">Indiana Pacers are reportedly open to dealing a few of their core players<\/a>, and the San Antonio Spurs should be in full rebuild mode after a 10-16 start to the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s time for Stevens to earn his stripes as an executive by saving what could be a disastrous season for the Celtics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Sportscastingdotcom\/\">Sportscasting<\/a>&nbsp;on Facebook.
