As the Celtics are building their campaign heading into the postseason, going after a high-caliber player like George would make sense for them. And with many tradeable assets at their disposal, striking a deal with the Indiana Pacers for George could be a big possibility for the Celtics.

And if the Celtics will succeed of making a trade for any of those superstars, the team will definitely be a contender right away.

However, pulling off this kind of trade for the said superstars will take some guts and compelling trade offers from the Boston Celtics. Both George and Butler are vital cog for their respective teams and even if the Celtics have the necessary assets and future picks, making it an attracting offer is another thing.
