The ongoing mid-season transfer window is coming to an end

contingent for the rest of the campaign.

According to transfer insider Jake Fischer, the Celtics are
interested in signing those two players before the end of the window, largely
to strengthen their bench.
“Boston has been weighing various options who could deepen
the Celtics’ bench, according to league sources,” wrote Fischer in his recent article.
“Boston will likely be limited to adding pieces through its $6.25 million
traded-player exception with which the Celtics could bring on a veteran target
such as Otto Porter Jr., sources said.
“Another name on Boston’s radar: Nets guard Lonnie Walker,
who’s generated a wealth of interest from playoff teams while playing well on a
minimum contract, sources said.”
Porter Jr. is having a below-par season for the Raptors
where he is averaging just 2.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.
He has not registered points in double figures this season.
On the other hand, Walker is having a decent season for the
Nets where he is averaging 12 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
