Vando is a strong rebounder that tends to play physical in the paint, Vanderbilt could be the perfect complimentary piece for this team to add alongside Robert Williams and Al Horford in the frontcourt.

However, his price may be very high given his impact on this young Jazz team and who knows what is going on in Utah right now? The Jazz have begun the new season with a 5-2 record and they look like a talented group that could wind up sneaking into the playoffs after everyone thought they were going to be the worst team in the league!

As a result, Vanderbilt’s price could be way too high for the Celtics to meet, which is why a trade like this is unlikely at this time. As the trade deadline approaches though, it would not be a terrible idea for the Celtics to at least inquire about Jarred Vanderbilt, especially since they could easily absorb his salary using one of their exceptions.
