We’re officially less than two weeks away from the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline. We’ve already seen the Celtics be linked with multiple players ranging from Ayo Dosunmu to Jaren Jackson Jr.
However, we’ve come to expect the Celtics to do their work in silence. The names that are often floated with the franchise are seldom the ones who walk through the doors of the Red Auerbach Center on their first day of practice with a new team.
To get us ready for the upcoming two weeks, I was joined by cap expert Keith Smith on the latest episode of the Celtics Chronicle podcast.
We started out by exploring some trade ideas that Billy Calabrese and I had crowd-sourced from Spotrac’s trade machine. We went through each idea individually, looking at why they would or wouldn’t work, and whether the Celtics would be willing to part with the pieces being offered.
In the second half of the show, Keith and I discussed the confusion surrounding the repeater tax, Anfernee Simons value as both a trade chip and a long-term piece in Boston, what Simons next deal could look like if he stays with the Celtics, and much more.
