WATCH: Best of tribute highlights for outgoing traded Celtics Romeo Langford, Josh Richardson, Dennis Schroder

While far from Celtics lifers, these three will be missed.

Whenever a team makes major moves at an NBA trade deadline as the Boston Celtics did this year, the bulk of fan and analyst attention is on the incoming haul acquired by the club, with the outgoing players in the deal usually a mere afterthought if addressed in depth at all.

But these are real people with real ties to the city, the fans, and their teammates, and should be paid respect for the work they put in with the franchise. With this in mind, let’s take a moment to pay our respects to the play of former Celtics Romeo Langford, Josh Richardson, and Dennis Schroder, all of which are now sporting different uniforms when on the clock.

A tribute highlights video was put together in their honor by fan YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski in the clip embedded below — give it a watch to reminisce about the best plays they had in green and white.

WATCH: Robert Williams III gets 15 points, 16 boards, 3 blocks vs. Denver Nuggets (2/11)

Timelord is truly coming into his own this season.

At the beginning of the 2021-22 NBA season, there were questions among NBA analysts about whether Boston Celtics big man Robert Williams III would be able to step into a bigger role given his frequent injuries and in-game fouling.

Now, as the season inches closer to the stretch run, those concerns have been obliterated, with the Celtics’ recent 108 – 102 win over the Denver Nuggets an excellent example of why that is. Playing for a total of 37 minutes against the Nuggets this past Friday evening, Timelord put up 15 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks while turning the ball over precisely 0 times and picking up four personal fouls in the process.

If you missed his big night against Denver and want to see how he played with newest Celtics guard Derrick White, or just want to check in and see where the Texas A&M Product’s game is at, check out the clip embedded below put together by YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski.

WATCH: New Celtics guard Derrick White’s debut for Boston: 15 points, 6 boards vs. Denver Nuggets

Check out White’s first game for Boston in this highlights clip.

As far as it can go with making a debut as a player for the Boston Celtics, Derrick White‘s certainly went very well. The former San Antonio Spurs guard had himself an excellent first game in green and white, helping the Celtics put away a pesky Denver Nuggets 108 – 102 with his trademark gritty defense and hustle.

The Colorado native put up 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists in 28 minutes of playing time off of the bench, recording just 2 turnovers and 4 personal fouls while shooting 6-of-12 from the floor, 3-of-7 from beyond the arc, and 0-of-1 from the charity stripe in his first game as a Celtic.

If you want to see his play for Boston for the very first time or just want to see it again, check out the clip embedded below put together for your enjoyment by fan videographer Tomasz Kordylewski.

WATCH: Derrick White’s best highlights of the 2021-22 NBA season so far

Get to know the newest Celtic’s game in this clip.

There is a new face in the backcourt of the Boston Celtics, one who might be familiar given how regularly he helped his prior team burn the Celtics on a regular basis — former San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White.

But plenty of Celtics fans do not know his game well if at all, and the 27-year-old, 6-foot-4 wing is certainly worth getting to know if that happens to be the case with you as well. A product of the University of Colorado, White has played only for the Spurs — the team who drafted him 29th overall in 2017. He has averaged 11.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists over his pro career, and shot 34.4% from 3 and 44.5% overall.

If you want to gloat over Boston’s newest player or just want to get to know his game, check out the clip embedded below courtesy of YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski.

WATCH: Boston’s two way forward Sam Hauser gets 30 points, 5 boards, 6 assists on 7-of-13 shooting from 3 vs. Grand Rapids

Should the Cs give the Virginia product more run with the parent club?

What if the Boston Celtics could add some much-needed shooting to the team simply by playing a player who is technically on their roster already with the parent club more than they have been?

In the midst of much searching for ways to improve the team around the margins ahead of the 2022 NBA trade deadline, the option of internal development remains open as well, and with how two way forward Sam Hauser has been playing of late with the Maine Celtics (Boston’s G League developmental affiliate), it could make sense to give the Virginia product more run with the parent club.

In a recent game with Maine against the Grand Rapids Gold (the Denver Nuggets G League affiliate), Hauser scored 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists while shooting 11-of-20 from the floor and a scorching 7-of-13 from 3-point range.

Watch the clip embedded above courtesy of YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski to see the former Cavalier in action with the Maine Celtics.

WATCH: Celtics’ Robert Williams III nails crucial block against PJ Washington’s attempted buzzer-beater to secure win vs. Hornets

Timelord sealed the deal when he sent PJ Washington’s shot off course, netting the Celtics their 113 – 107 win in the process.

Boston Celtics starting big man Robert Williams III is continuing to grow his game on both ends of the court, and has been a significant factor in the Celtics having won 10 of their last 14 games. Timelord even managed a critical clutch block on the perimeter to help seal the 113 – 107 win against a visiting Charlotte Hornets squad on Wednesday night.

The Texas A&M product put up 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks — including the late-game rejection that sent Hornets forward PJ Washington’s attempt at a game-winner at the buzzer for Charlotte into another dimension.

It was quite the impressive play, and if you would like to see it again for yourself or just want to see it for the first time, check out the clip embedded below put together by the folks at NBC Sports Boston.

WATCH: Boston’s Jaylen Brown gets 29 points, 4 boards vs. Miami Heat at TD Garden (1/31)

The Georgia native was a driving force behind Boston’s big home win against the Heat.

The Boston Celtics are looking like a team that may have turned the corner on their season with another strong 122 – 92 victory over an admittedly dinged-up but still capable Miami Heat squad, and star forward Jaylen Brown was one of the primary reasons why the Celtics came away with the win.

The Georgia native put up 29 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals with no turnovers and just 2 personal fouls in 32 minutes of playing time against the Heat. Brown shot 11-of-19 from the floor overall, 3-of-9 from beyond the arc, and a perfect 4-of-4 from the charity stripe.

If you have yet to see the Cal-Berkeley product’s play against the Heat or just want to watch it again, check out the clip embedded below put together by fan YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski to see all of the best of Brown against the Heat at the Garden on Monday night.

WATCH: Boston’s Jayson Tatum gets 38 points, 8 boards, 7 assists vs. Pels (1/29)

Is the St. Louis native back in elite form?

The Boston Celtics got back above .500 with a much-needed win over the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night, and All-Star Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum was the team’s leading scorer in the win.

The St. Louis native led all scorers in fact, putting up 38 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals in 37 minutes of playing time that saw Tatum shoot 17-of-26 from the floor, and 4-of-13 from beyond the arc while turning the ball over just twice and fouling three times in total.  A + 21 on the night, only Marcus Smart and Robert Williams III were on the court for more winning plays Saturday night.

Watch the clip embedded below put together by fan YouTuber Tomasz Kordylewski to see how the Duke product played against the Pelicans this weekend, whether for the first time or just to see it again.

WATCH: Are the Boston Celtics using Marcus Smart the right way?

Some people think the veteran guard could be deployed in rotations that make more sense for the team.

Are the Boston Celtics using their starting point guard the right way? In season after season, we get hints that veteran guard Marcus Smart will finally get to play his natural position as a floor general after repeated instances of the Flower Mound native finding out the head coach would prefer to treat him as a shooting guard instead

And with the arrival of Dennis Schroder on a bargain deal this season, that pattern seems to be repeating itself — is this costing the Celtics wins with how Smart is being used? There’s a legitimate case to be made that the Texan guard is not having his strengths magnified by his current organization.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast got together with former ESPN writer Seth Landmann to talk about how they think Smart ought to be used with this team, and how to use that in turn to maximize what the team does well.

Watch the clip embedded above to hear what they have to say on how the longest-tenured Celtic is being used, and whether there are tweaks that can improve things for the future.

WATCH: Recent Maine Celtics signee Denzel Valentine gets 23 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists vs. Mad Ants

The newest addition to the Maine Celtics is already a major contributor to the team.

It has not been long since the Maine Celtics signed former Utah Jazz wing Denzel Valentine to their roster as a player, but the Michigan State product is already making his mark with the Celtics’ G League developmental affiliate.

In a recent contest played against the Fort Wayne (Indiana) Mad Ants — the developmental affiliate for the Indiana Pacers, Valentine put up 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 8 assists while shooting 6-of-14 from the field, a sizzling 5-of-10 from beyond the arc, and a perfect 5-of-5 from the free-throw line in 28 minutes of playing time for Maine off of the bench.

While he could be picked up by any team in the league, it’s worth keeping an eye on the former No. 14 pick as a potential low-cost, end-of-bench option for the Celtics should the team need cheap help after making trade deadline moves to consolidate talent.

Watch the video embedded above to see how the Lansing, Michigan native played for Maine in this video put together by the G League itself.
