What can we expect from the Boston Celtics at the trade deadline?

We’ve got less than two weeks until the February 5 NBA trade deadline, and for most of us, that means we’re waiting to see whether the Boston Celtics make a move. For months, Anfernee Simons has been viewed as a sizeable trade chip, especially if Brad Stevens wants to acquire a long-term piece to his puzzle. However, Simons’ recent performances off the bench may have given the front office reason for pause.

Furthermore, Boston has also been floated as a team that’s looking to duck under the luxury tax. After all, Stevens’ moves during the summer were made with cost-cutting in mind. The problem is, Boston can’t add a long-term upgrade and duck under the tax at the same time. It’s an either-or scenario.

During a recent episode of the “Celtics Chronicle” podcast, hosts Adam Taylor and Billy Calabrese discussed whether the Celtics will be buyers at the trade deadline, and if they are, what type of talent they could target. The duo floated some high-cost, unlikely names, along with some more realistic targets who make sense for Boston’s current roster needs.
