The NBA trade deadline is approaching quickly, and the Celtics have limited tools at their disposal to make improvements to the roster.
After the deadline, though, Brad Stevens will have plenty of opportunities to make upgrades via mid-season free agency.
That’s right, folks: It’s almost buyout season.
Now, don’t get your hopes up. No one Boston signs after a buyout is going to knock your socks off. But all the Celtics need is a solid veteran who can step into a bench role every now and then. That’s possible to find, even with some new restrictions on buyout candidates.
