B/R trade proposal sees Boston swapping a beloved face and a new arrival for an Atlanta Hawks big man

While the Boston Celtics may be playing well at the moment, it will take some time before fans and analysts will believe the change is real they have seen in recent games. And if things start to go south again, inducing panic perhaps in the team’s front office, there are of course those with potential trades in mind for Boston to remedy the situation.

One such author is Bleacher Report’s Dan Swartz, who put together a deal that he thinks would help not only the Celtics but also an also-struggling Atlanta Hawks franchise suffering from similar issues plaguing Boston in terms of a young roster having issues playing consistently.

The deal in question? Sending veteran guard Marcus Smart and recent arrival Josh Richardson to Atlanta in exchange for Hawks big man John Collins.
