THIS NOTE WAS LEAKED! BRAD STEVENS ANNOUNCES TRADE DEADLINE FOR BOSTON CELTICS!
Armed with a talented roster and championship aspirations, the Boston Celtics face questions about potential front-office moves within their title window. However, Boston President Brad Stevens issues a cautionary note, emphasizing that the team has already executed significant plays during the offseason. The Celtics underwent a substantial transformation by trading for Kristaps
Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, reshaping the core of their roster. These moves have proven successful, with the Celtics boasting the league’s best record at 26-7 and one of the NBA’s top net ratings. Despite this success, the Celtics could make additional moves to bolster their depth before
The February 8 trade deadline, just weeks away. While Stevens suggests they aren’t likely to make a franchise-altering move, he hints at what the Celtics might be seeking in the trade market. “What you look at is guys that can play, guys that can add value,” Stevens said. “But,
Like I said last year, don’t need to play. So if we end up adding somebody, I don’t know if it will be a game-changer.” Stevens expresses a desire to explore finding another “big wing” that can contribute, emphasizing the potential for such a piece to come from within the current roster. However,
He acknowledges the team’s limited financial tools this year. Similar to last season, the Celtics find themselves in a favorable position with a well-established rotation that requires minimal mid-season tweaking. This is advantageous as the Celtics don’t face a talent problem – all their key players have also emphasized sacrifice this season.
On the flip side, as Stevens notes, the Celtics will likely experience a quiet trade deadline. While they may still seek wing depth, players like Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard, the first off the bench, have had solid seasons. Luke Kornet and two-way signee Neemias Queta have also provided reliable production,
Making it uncertain whether the Celtics will pursue additional depth in that area. Last season, the Celtics traded for Mike Muscala at the deadline to bolster shooting and depth. While Muscala was a decent addition, he didn’t significantly impact the team
As they were already one of the best in the league. Therefore, the Celtics are likely to follow a similar formula this deadline, having already made significant moves for the roster. “You try to be smart if you add,” Stevens said. “How does it fit and how does it not take away?
And so really the tool to do that again is the ($6.2 million Grant Williams trade exception), which is not big. The major trade deadline move for us was Jrue the day before the season started.
So we just have to be on the lookout for how we can fortify it and how we can make it better.”
