Former 76ers Forward Predicted to Land With East Rival
At the trade deadline, the Philadelphia 76ers executed multiple moves to make some changes to the roster. Following a flurry of trades, some of the players who were shipped out now find themselves looking for a new team.
Among the players the Sixers traded on deadline day was Danuel House, who was sent to the Detroit Pistons. Not long after the deal was official, the veteran forward was waived and hit the free agent market.
Since being let go by the Pistons, House has yet to land with a new team. He'll have to find somewhere soon, as the deadline to be playoff eligible is at the end of this week.
With still some interesting names on the buyout market, the people at Bleacher Report put together some free agency predictions for these final days of eligibility. House was among the players mentioned, and was predicted to wind up on the Boston Celtics.
House spent the past year-and-a-half with the Sixers, where he constantly saw himself in and out of the rotation. Across 90 total games, he averaged 4.6 PPG and 1.7 RPG.
If House were to sign with the Celtics, he find himself with a good chance to compete for a championship. Boston is currently first in the Eastern Conference and has the NBA's best overall record.
The Celtics have one of the top starting lineups in the league, and adding a player like House could solidify their wing depth. More importantly, he's an experienced veteran who could provide a boost for them come playoff time.
Ending up with Boston would also allow House to reunite with one of his recent teammates. The Sixers' final move at the deadline this year was sending Jaden Springer to the Celtics in exchange for a second-round pick.
