The Boston Celtics may be too good to make significant changes at the trade deadline.
Over the summer, the Boston Celtics’ focus was ducking the first apron. They succeeded. They traded Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday and let Al Horford and Luke Kornet walk in free agency. Now, they’re fully under the first apron, but they could still attempt to duck the repeater tax by shedding around $12 to $13 million this season. But plans may have changed.
