On Thursday, the NBA trade deadline came and went, with plenty of activity around the league shaking things up. With the Celtics acquiring Xavier Tillman from the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday afternoon, there was buzz on what else Brad Stevens could whip up to round out the roster before the clock struck 3 pm EST.
Boston moved on from two of their offseason signings in Lamar Stevens as part of the Tillman trade and sent Dalano Banton to the Portland Trail Blazers for a heavily-protected second round pick. Right before the deadline passed, the Celtics pulled off one more trade, this time with the Philadelphia 76ers for guard Jaden Springer at the cost of a second round pick.
