NBA Trade Deadline: Grading how all 30 teams performed at the deadline
Boston Celtics
Key Moves:
N/A
It’s not all that surprising that the Boston Celtics didn’t make much noise at the NBA Trade Deadline, considering they already have one of the most talented rosters in the league and want to save most of their assets for their expected pursuit of Anthony Davis during the off-season.
This is a team that should be performing better than 3rd in the Eastern Conference, but I still believe that this is the team that will be the favorites to come out of the conference once the playoffs begin.
Whether they can put it all together and actually produce a conference championship remains to be seen, but when this team is healthy and hitting on all cylinders, they can compete with any team in the NBA – including the Warriors. With that said, it wouldn’t be surprising if this team was active in the buyout market.
