Could Celtics Target Lonzo Ball After Trading Kemba Walker To Thunder?
NESN Logo Sign In  The Boston Celtics now are in need of a point guard, and it seems at least one NBA writer believes the organization could be interested in Lonzo Ball. Stadiums Jeff Goodman offered the speculation Friday on the heels of a Celtics trade which sent four-time All-Star point guard Kemba Walker to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Boston, who also sent a first-round pick to OKC, received a pair of centers  35-year-old Al Horford and 21-year-old Moses Brown  in return. And while the Celtics made out rather well in the financially driven move, Boston now has just Marcus Smart and Payton Pritchard as true ball handlers. Adding backcourt depth is a near certainty before the Celtics take the floor for the 2021-22 season. A guy that I still say I would go after, and you guys might think Im crazy here, but you surround him with enough guys who can score the ball, go after Lonzo Ball, Goodman told WEEIs Greg Hill Show, as transcribed by WEEI. I mean hes an elite level passer. He can guard. His shot has gotten better. I dont know what hes going to command on the market. Hes a restricted free agent. But thats somebody I would absolutely look at. Knows how to play the game.  Everything about Lonzo I love other than the fact that hes not a great shooter. But you put him with guys who can shoot the ball, and thats what you?re going to have to do if youre Brad Stevens, Goodman added. I dont know if you have enough shooting on the court if you bring in Lonzo, but if you bring in one more shooter and  I dont know how the money would work  bring in a Lonzo Ball, he just makes people better and they havent had that for a while.  Yahoo! Sports Keith Smith, though, threw some cold water on Goodmans take.
