The NBA’s trade deadline is Thursday, February 9, and with it comes the usual crop of rumors and gossip. The Boston Celtics employ one of the most balanced rosters in the Association at the moment, but that doesn’t mean the team won’t consider any moves between now and next week.
Already Boston has been linked to a few intriguing names. San Antonio Spurs big man Jakob Poeltl is a popular name in the rumor mill, while a reunion with Kelly Olynyk has reportedly been considered. Payton Pritchard in particular has been pegged as one of the top assets for any would-be Celtics trade.
But as Keith Smith of Celticsblog reported, Boston’s front office values the former Oregon Duck very highly. As such, it may be a quiet deadline in the Hub.
Some prominent NBA minds do not necessarily see star Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown as that far behind his teammate from St. Louis. https://t.co/fmnGqDsX0o
