The Wizards are looking to deal, are there any realistic targets for Celtics?

Despite the underwhelming play from the Celtics over the first 17 games of the season, they have been far from the biggest disappointment in the Eastern Conference this season. That honor would go to the Washington Wizards, who have stumbled to a 6-11 start with plenty of drama behind the scenes that includes a star player cussing out the head coach, effort issues and plenty of pointing fingers.

These issues, on and off the floor, combined with a massive looming luxury tax bill for the future, have led the Wizards to let opposing teams know they are open for business for nearly every piece on the roster, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com. The Celtics obviously have one of the deepest rosters in the league right now, but it's clearly not meshing to the degree that anyone wanted just yet. It's also apparent that there are some flaws in construction that may or may not need to be addressed based on whether certain players shake out of their funks.

While any type of potential dealing from by Ainge would not be expected to happen for at least another month (most free agents signed this offseason can't be moved until Dec. 15th), it is fair to wonder whether there are any pieces of interest out there that fit Boston's needs and financial restrictions. Let's take stock of whether this is a situation that's worth monitoring.
