Here's one my son came up with. I thought it made sense:

Mathurin and Toppin
for
Derrick White

White would do a good job filling in for Hali while he is out, but then could easily play next to him.

Celtics get a young guard prospect and a productive scoring forward. We save 5m in this trade too. Still need trade Holliday or Zinger.

Can?t move White. Pritchard is not a starting caliber PG. He is solid as a 6th man, but not a starter. Teams attack him and he becomes a liability defensively. I?d trade them Jrue, though. Maybe they bite with Haliburton out. I do like Mathurin.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

pretty sure Pritchard's gonna be starting next year no matter what.

Plus Indiana would never consider this deal for Holiday

Yeah, I don't have a problem with Pritchard starting. I think he can start for 10-12 teams in the league. While Pritchard is not a plus defender he is an adequate one. I would be fine with him as our starting PG.

As an alternative, in this trade idea, you could start Jrue at PG and Mathurin at SG and keep Pritchard in a bench role. You lose ball-handling and passing from Pritchard but in Mathurin you have a defender who cannot be matchup hunted as well. You could even start Toppin too while Tatum is out.

G: Jrue, Pritchard
G: Mathurin, Scheierman
F: Jaylen, Hauser
F: O Toppin, Horford
C: Porzingis, Queta

Assuming Kornet leaves. Tatum comes back as starting PF. Toppin becomes main backup big. Long term replacement for Horford once Horford decides to retire.
