3. Boston Celtics (35-15)

I wouldn’t be shocked to see the Boston Celtics make some sort of deal ahead of the NBA trade deadline, but I just don’t see one that they’d settle for.

If we’ve learned anything about the Celtics over the last few years it’s taht Danny Ainge doesn’t like to settle. Which means if a big fish isn’t in the cards for the Celtics over the next few days, I wouldn’t bet on Ainge wasting any of his assets.

Plus, if Gordon Hayward is coming back at any point this season, it doesn’t make a ton of sense for Boston to shake things up.
