The New Orleans Pelicans have finally executed a trade before Thursday afternoon's deadline. Oh, but it's not that one.
Deadline day in the NBA has finally arrived. And after weeks of speculation and rumors (so many rumors), it sounds like it will be a pretty quiet day for the Boston Celtics.
The Celtics will have two of their best players back Thursday night when they try to continue Boston's recent run of dominance over Los Angeles teams.
If Wednesday morning is any indication, Eastern Conference contenders are going to be an active bunch ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline. The Boston Celtics, however, are not expected to join in on the deadline day fun.
The Celtics beat the Cavaliers 103-96 on Tuesday night for their fifth straight victory despite missing All-Star guard Kyrie Irving.
It appears the New Orleans Pelicans are currently winning this trade tug-of-war with Anthony Davis, which is good news for the Boston Celtics.
Anthony Davis has reportedly expanded the list of teams he's willing to sign a long-term deal with. That list of teams still does not include the Boston Celtics.
The Boston Celtics snapped the Oklahoma City Thunder's league-best seven-game win streak with a 134-129 victory Sunday.
Celtics forward Jaylen Brown is much more than just a basketball player. On Super Bowl Sunday, he decided to make a social statement.
Kyrie Irving had 23 points, 10 rebounds and six assists before a Madison Square Garden crowd eager to start the free agent wooing five months early, and the Boston Celtics beat New York 113-99 on Friday night in the Knicks' first game since trading Kristaps Porzingis.
It's been a few minutes, so it's time for another Anthony Davis-Celtics update. And this one is not good for Boston.
Drama. Drama. And some more drama. That's what the NBA is providing on a daily basis. And the Boston Celtics are not exempt.
It sounds like Kyrie Irving still intends to re-up with the Celtics at the end of the season, and even if he doesn't, he most certainly won't be heading out West to join LeBron James and the Lakers.
Will he stay or will he go? That is the big uncertainly surrounding Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics right now. But Celtics president of basketball ops. Danny Ainge doesn't sound too concerned about the issue.
There are rumors in the NBA. And as usual, the Celtics are involved in those rumors.
