Now that the NBA’s 2024 trade deadline and All-Star Break are firmly behind us, we can get a good idea of how those trade deadline moves shook up the Eastern Conference playoff landscape. Some teams intentionally got worse in the pursuit of draft capital and lottery odds, a few should have, a few moved laterally, some stood pat — and a few got better.
But were any of those moves impactful enough to threaten the Boston Celtics in the offseason? And if so, which teams are a real threat to Boston in the 2024 postseason? With a commanding lead in the East standings, it seems like an odd question to ask, but the bad luck and injuries that made the rest of the pack clump together is not going to last.
On a recent episode of the CLNS Media “The Big 3 NBA” podcast, host A. Sherrod Blakely, is joined by Josue Pavon, also of CLNS Media.
Blakely and Pavon gave their thoughts on the rest of the Celtics’ schedule and break down the keys to the final stretch for the C’s before the playoffs.
