Per Brett Siegel of nbaanalysis.net, the Celtics are targeting a wing scorer to pair with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Among the potential targets listed are Marcus Morris (Clippers), Robert Covington (Trail Blazers), Terrence Ross (Magic), Jeff Green (Nuggets) and Justin Holiday (Pacers). (Brett Siegel on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
When active, Morris has been playing decent minutes (23 minutes or more in his last eight games played) for the Clippers with fellow front court mates Paul George and Kawhi Leonard still sidelined with injuries. It has been a little disappointing the 32-year old hasn't been able to produce more than points and three-pointers made while also struggling notably from the field over the last month. It seems there will be more immediate opportunity for the veteran forward if he stays with the Clippers instead of being moved, even if it is in a homecoming move to a Celtics team that needs scoring and outside shooting. It is worth following the situation as it develops to see if the veteran's value will change.
