Less than 48 hours remain until Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET NBA trade deadline for the Boston Celtics to finalize a deal. Rumor has claimed that the company is more aggressive than its external market activity suggests.
Although the Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens has already spent heavily on roster upgrades like Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday in the offseason, Stevens may not be finished yet. Boston continues to have a $6.2 million traded-player exception from the Grant Williams-Mavericks trade, and it has been linked to a number of low-profile, depth-enhancing targets.The Celtics have added two more names to their rumor mill, despite Stevens and the front office having a very small budget to work with.

According to league sources, Boston has been considering a number of options to bolster the Celtics’ bench, as Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer revealed on Tuesday. According to sources, Boston’s options for adding players will probably be restricted to using its $6.25 million traded-player exception, which the Celtics might use to sign a seasoned player like Otto Porter Jr. Another player that Boston has their eye on is Nets guard Lonnie Walker, who, according to insiders, has drawn a lot of interest from playoff teams despite playing well on a minimum salary.
