This year’s NBA trade deadline has already been fascinating from a league-wide perspective, and there’s still several hours left (as I post this at 8 AM EST). Luka Doncic, Anthony Davis, Jimmy Butler, and Brandon Ingram have already been moved, just to name a few.
The Celtics got in on the action by shipping off Jaden Springer yesterday, saving $15M in the process. While I would have enjoyed keeping him around for some spot defensive minutes, I don’t think this moves the needle this year and he was not going to be playing in the playoffs anyway.
