The Boston Celtics latest (lack of) moves might signal a trade is coming

The decision not to waive Kornet, Mykhailiuk, or Banton means they won’t be cut to make room for a signing, but it might also be a prelude to them being moved in a trade.

The Boston Celtics are likely zeroing in on what the team’s front office is going to do at the NBA’s 2023-24 trade deadline, and recent decisions made by the ball club could signal satisfaction with the depth already on the roster. It could also hint that the Celtics plan to make a move to further bolster the team ahead of the Feb. 8 limit.

The franchise’s decision not to waive Luke Kornet, Svi Mykhailiuk, or Dalano Banton means they won’t be cut to make room for a signing, but it might also be a prelude to them being moved in a trade. With Boston having the green light to take on salary and a $6.2 million traded player exception to absorb salary, the Celtics are very likely to make a deal, and the lack of cuts hint one may well be on the way.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics! / Talkin’ Cs” podcasts weighed in on the lack of cuts before the league-wide guarantee date on Jan. 10 and what it means for Boston’s trade deadline.
