The trade deadline has come and gone, and with Anthony Davis staying with the New Orleans Pelicans, the day was more or less a victory for the Boston Celtics, an avoidable loss to the Los Angeles Lakers later in the evening aside (it's nice you finally hit a game-winner in the Garden, Rondo, but couldn't it have been in green?).
But Boston didn't stand pat, exactly, on the deadline, making what might seem a most tiny move that could, in fact, have significant implications.
