The NBA trade deadline passed on Thursday, but the Celtics could still make another addition to the roster prior to the playoffs.
Boston made a series of deadline deals — acquiring Xavier Tillman and Jaden Springer — but retained an open roster spot.
As a result, Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens will be able to potentially add a player who was bought out of his contract by another team (though there are limitations due to salary cap restrictions). The buyout market could offer some intriguing possibilities, but Stevens noted during a Friday press conference that any additional signing would be made primarily to help the team’s depth.
