What should the Celtics do with their last open roster spot?
The 2025 trade deadline will go down as the most insane trade deadline in league history. A franchise icon, multiple Hall of Famers and All-Stars playing musical chairs. Headlined, of course, by the Dallas Mavericks inexplicably trading Luka Doncic.
However, the Celtics might not come up when I tell my grandkids about the 2025 NBA trade deadline.
The Celtics made one move at the trade deadline. They salary-dumped Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets, who subsequently waived him. And no, the Celtics can’t resign Springer. Teams can’t resign players immediately after trading them. If another team were to sign Springer and then cut him, the Celtics could bring him back. Unlikely.
