The Boston Celtics is in the trade market once more as per latest NBA trade rumors. And it looks like they are targeting to acquire the services of Pelicans power forward/center Anthony Davis.

Earlier reports have placed Davis in the trade rumors involving three teams and seven players. In that trade scenario, he will be dealt with the Bulls in exchange for five players . However, until now that deal is not progressing and is likely not going to happen.

On the other hand, the Celtics are very active during the offseason with regards to trade deals. They've been linked to trade talks with other teams such as the Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets, Sacramento Kings, Phoenix Suns and Philadelphia 76ers. But up until now, none of those really prosper.

And now, the Celtics is turning its focus on the prized power forward/center of the New Orleans Pelicans Anthony Davis according to iTech Post. The Celtics have many tradeable assets to make this happen and make a big gamble in getting Davis. Trade scenario is suggesting that the Pelicans send Davis to the Celtics in exchange for point guard Marcus Smart, small forward Jaylen Brown and power forward Amir Johnson.

Davis will bring in averages of 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game last season to the Celtics which is a big boost on their offense if the deal pushes through. This trade proposal also satisfies all NBA trade rules and salary cap regulation making it a legal deal as per stated in the latest NBA trade rumors circulating online.

The Inquisitr also reported that if ever Davis will be traded it will leave a big hole on Pelican's power forward spot but Johnson can somehow fill that void for now. As for Smart and Brown, they can be the future superstar players for the Pelicans but it all depends on how they will fit into coach Alvin Gentry system.

Based on basketball analyst standpoint, it is a good deal for both teams but it will all depend on Pelican's organization decision on what direction they want their team to take as per stated also in the report. If the Pelicans choose to stick out with Davis then they will drop off the deal with Boston. But if they feel that the addition of Smart, Brown and Johnson will make them contend with other Western Conference teams then this trade would be enticing.

Will the New Orleans Pelican release Anthony Davis to the Boston Celtics? Will Boston trade proposal lure the Pelicans? Stay tuned for more of the latest NBA trade rumors.
