Robb: Celtics ‘strongly expected to make some kind of move’ ahead of NBA’s 2024 trade deadline

Could Boston use their $6.2 million traded player exception, or go another route to improve their bench?

While a consensus is growing that the Boston Celtics will not be making any major moves at the NBA’s 2024 trade deadline, rumbles persist that the ball club is still looking to make some improvements around the margins. Per MassLive’s Brian Robb, the Celtics “are strongly expected to make some kind of move ahead of the trade deadline.”

“Keeping the team’s roster fully intact now past the guarantee deadline keeps more potential opportunities open for getting a deal done to bolster the back end of the roster,” adds the MassLive reporter, alluding to the decision of Boston’s front office to guarantee the contracts of Luke Kornet, Svi Mykhailiuk, Dalano Banton, and Lamar Stevens by not cutting them in time for the league-wide guarantee date.

The Celtics may well elect to deal one or more of those players ahead of the Feb. 8 deadline in order offset the cost of using their $6.2 million traded player exception generated when Boston signed-and-traded Grant Williams to the Dallas Mavericks this past offseason.

Jayson Tatum asks us not to take Al Horford for granted after the Boston Celtics’ blowout of Indiana

He also called him his favorite teammate.

Veteran Boston Celtics forward Al Horford may not fill up the stat sheet with gaudy numbers, but what he does for the Celtics has been the engine that has kept Boston at the top of the standings this season, and All-NBA teammate Jayson Tatum wants to be sure you know it.

Lauding Horford after the Celtics’ blowout win of the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday night, Tatum let it be known we need to appreciate what the Florida alum brings to Boston. “We just can’t keep taking him for granted,” said the St. Louis native via Boston Dot Com’s Colin McCarthy.

“(He’s the) best teammate I ever had, ultimate professional, and somebody that we can count on, night in and night out,” added Tatum. “He proved that again tonight.”

The 16-season vet has indeed been as integral as ever to what the Celtics need on any given night in spite of the fact that Horford is putting up a career low in scoring.

But as has been the case for some time, the intangibles that do not show up in the box score — and plenty that do — have become almost clockwork for Boston as he scales his production and energy up or down depending on the role he is asked to play.

And as Tatum notes, we should not take that for granted.

How the Boston Celtics’ front office fleeced the NBA

The Boston Celtics have put together a brilliant assembly of talent in their starting lineup.

The Boston Celtics have put together a brilliant assembly of talent in their starting lineup so far in the NBA’s 2023-24 season, creating a formidable ball club that excels on both ends of the court. While the spotlight often shines on star forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, the additions of veteran combo guard Jrue Holiday, star big man Kristaps Porzingis, and maybe the team’s most important player when it comes to winning, Derrick White, have elevated the team’s performance to new heights.

The interplay between White and Holiday, coupled with Porzingis’ spacing, results in a potent offensive unit, and Celtics’ starting lineup stands as a testament to the front office’s strategic vision under team president Brad Stevens.

The folks behind the “Thinking Basketball” podcast recently put together a clip on how the Celtics fleeced the league to put together that starting five.

Check out the clip above to hear their thoughts.

Mike Gorman on Boston’s odds of hanging a banner this season

“You don’t win championships when you’re in your twenties,” said Gorman.

Mike Gorman knows a thing or two about the Boston Celtics and championships. Having had a front-row view to four of the storied ball club’s 17 titles, few have had a bigger window into what it takes to win it all in that city. And while the legendary broadcaster is optimistic about the Celtics’ chances of hanging Banner 18 this season, he also wants us to temper expectations. “The thing that people don’t realize, but if you look, you’ll find out this is a fact,” said Gorman on the “Green with Envy” podcast, “you don’t win championships when you’re in your twenties.”

Referring to the team’s three stars, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis — all under 30, and by a fair amount in Tatum’s case — this trend is generally true, with all-time greats like LeBron James (27) and Michael Jordan (28) the rare exception.

“You win championships when you’re in your early 30s, from 31 to about 33 or 34,” he added.

“Those are the prime years for guys,” explained Gorman. “And this bunch, as good as they are, have a long way to go to get to that point.”

“Now, if they can get themselves a title between now and then, that would be wonderful. But I think right now, where they’re at, they’d have to steal one here.”

Is the Boston Celtics’ bench starting to heat up?

The Celtics’ bench has shown growth in their ability to help Boston win games in different ways and has looked more cohesive in recent games.

The Boston Celtics’ bench had a great performance in their recent game against the New York Knicks, providing valuable production and integrating well with the starters. The rotations and lineup combinations seemed to work well, with players like Payton Pritchard, Al Horford, and Derrick White making positive contributions.

Horford, in particular, showed his value on the defensive end by effectively guarding players like Jalen Brunson. Although his offensive performance has been lacking, Horford’s defensive impact is still valuable. The Celtics have been tight with their rotation, relying on a core group of eight players, but it remains to be seen who the next man up will be.

The Celtics’ bench has shown growth in their ability to help Boston win games in different ways and has looked more cohesive in recent games.

The Boston Celtics have been setting the NBA offseason abuzz with a flurry of impactful moves, leaving fans and pundits eager to see what the upcoming season holds for this storied franchise. The Celtics found themselves at a crossroads following their heart-wrenching loss in Game 7 of the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals.

Now, Holiday and Porzingis are integrating into the team while Boston’s All-NBA forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have also been honing their craft.

To document it for posterity, the team put together a video of the four working out and other preparations in anticipation of the 2023-24 season ahead.
