Celtics Lab 85: Boston’s hitting singles, dodging tax ahead of the trade deadline

In this lab, we explore the logics Boston may be employing at the trade deadline – and who they might target.

The Boston Celtics are making moves on the margins already seemingly with an eye to getting under the tax line for the 2021-22 NBA season — how will the franchise finish out the rest of its roster-building moves given what we have seen from President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens so far?

The latest episode of the CLNS Media podcast “Celtics Lab” was recorded before the deal that sent Juancho Hernangomez to the San Antonio Spurs to bring back Bol Bol and PJ Dozier, but the analysis hosts Alex Goldberg, Justin Quinn and Cameron Tabatabaie brought to bear in it came very close to predicting such a move.

The trio get into the teeth of what else might be in store for the team before the Feb. 10 deadline arrives.
