As we cross into the threshold of the one-week mark away from the 2021 NBA trade deadline of March 25, speculation grows like weeds about what teams will pull off before the window to move players closes for the season.
And with a $28.5 million traded player exception (TPE) burning a hole in their collective pocket, the Boston Celtics are of course among the teams with the most eyes on them. and while plenty of discourse has been bandied about by the team’s front office and ownership about waiting until the offseason to use most if not all of the TPE, there’s a strong expectation we’ll see at least a smaller move or two from Boston before the 26th of March arrives.
To that end, a panel of experts from The Athletic including Jay King, John Hollinger and Jared Weiss got together to spitball some ideas that the Celtics could pursue, with some analysis on what it could take to get the call made to the league office as well.
