The 2026 NBA trade deadline is less than a week away, and the Boston Celtics will have some tough decisions to make ahead of it. Add in the news that star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum may actually NOT return this season after all, and what Boston’s playoff picture (and what they should do to improve it) got a little murkier as a result.

But some things remain constant, such as the Celtics needing an upgrade in their frontcourt, and some more ballhandling on the bench might also be a concern. At the same time, as teams increasingly negotiate through the media, we are hearing more reports tied to Boston than ever. What rumbles are worth paying attention to, and which should Celtics fans take with a grain (or a pile) of salt? This week, the hosts of “Havlicek Stole the Pod” sat down with Forbes and Hardwood Houdini’s Bobby Krivitsky to talk ourselves through the glut of Celtics trade rumors, the Tatum news, and more.
