NBA Trade Rumors: Celtics sign Queta, Philippines eye Okongwu, Raptors interested in Lillard

The NBA 2023-24 season is about to start, and the trade market is buzzing with news. In the last 24 hours, the Celtics added a new big man, the Philippines expressed interest in naturalizing a Hawks player, and the Raptors raised their price for Lillard.

The Celtics announced that they have officially signed center Neemias Queta to a two-way contract. Queta signed a one-year, partially guaranteed contract with the Kings in early August, but was waived on September 13. Queta played for the Kings' G League team last season, averaging 17.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game.

Philippine basketball reporter Navin Ganglani reported that sources said the Philippine national team is interested in naturalizing Hawks player Onyeka Okongwu. Last season, Okongwu played 80 games for the Hawks, starting 18 of them, and averaged 9.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1.3 blocks per game on 63.8 percent shooting.

Okongwu grew up in a Filipino community in California. Nigeria also wants to recruit Okongwu for citizenship, but the Philippines has an advantage right now.air jordan 1 zoom cmft somos familia

Matt Moore of Action Network said on the Locked On NBA podcast that the Raptors are interested in Lillard. He said: "This is something that no one really talks about, but everyone in the league knows that the Raptors are one of the teams (interested in Lillard)."

Trail Blazers reporter Aaron Fentress was told that one of the main reasons why the Lillard trade has never progressed is that the Blazers have never been clear about their asking price.⁵
