The Celtics have tried like hell, but they can’t get anything of value on the trade market for Brandon Bass, according to Zach Lowe of Grantland.
Boston already has a couple young replacements at power forward in Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk. I suspect the Celtics wouldn’t mind giving those two more room to develop.
But they won’t just dump Bass. They can always just let him walk in free agency next summer if it comes to it, though it’s best to get some return now if possible.
