Celtics stand pat while Cavaliers go wild at trade deadline
Credit: Christopher Evans (file)The Celtics chose patience at the NBA trade deadline, while one of their chief Eastern Conference rivals chose to detonate all but the foundation of their roster.
The Celts were active in discussions, but the 3 p.m. last call passed without them making a move. They'd had a number of conversations with Memphis about wing scorer Tyreke Evans, but their unwillingness to part with a first round draft pick left the sides apart.
The C's will now look to the buyout market to see if they can improve their offense off the bench. Any player waived by March 1st is eligible for a playoff roster.
