NBA Rumors, Topics, and Trades (Oh My)
Welcome to NBA Trade Deadline! Approximately 1,045 NBA trade rumors will be heard, but only about 15 to 20 will go through, and most of them will happen in the last hour.
It didn't take the Boston Celtics long to pull the trigger on landing Xavier Tillman (more on that in the future). And they still have Grant Williams TPE that they can use before it disappears (when the second apron rule kicks in this offseason, TPE won't be available anymore).
In my opinion, Tillman is already better than the type of player the Celtics expected to get. So everything that happens today is gravy. However, Brad plans to continue approaching his work with that growth mindset. He knocks singles and doubles all over the ballpark.
This seems like a good place to connect sections of your blog. For example, we have a section dedicated to Celtics trade rumors. So you can keep up with all the latest news in one place.
We'll also connect the Trade Deadline Primer article that our very own Michael Scooner wrote a few weeks ago. He also mentioned Tillman as a big man option for the Celtics.
There should be some interesting trades outside of Boston. This is another place to connect to SBNation's Trade Deadline Stream. Will names like Dejounte Murray, DeMar DeRozan, D'Angelo Russell, Kelly Olynyk, Malcolm Brogdon and Kyle Kuzma find new homes? Which team will be the buyer? Will the Sixers move or hold off until the summer? Does anyone really know what the Bulls are doing? Please check it.
Of course, we're always ready to analyze this game through the lens of “What does this mean for the Celtics?” After all, that’s all that really matters, right? So stay tuned to CelticsBlog throughout the day. Chat with us in the comments here or on the stories posted throughout the day. Have a wonderful deadline day!
