Celtics President Brad Stevens addressed the media following an uneventful trade deadline for the team, with the only move being the trade of Jaden Springer to Houston. Stevens cited financial reasons for this trade, as the team was able to save around $15 million by moving him. Despite the lack of major moves on deadline day, the Celtics signed veteran forward Torrey Craig to fill one of their open roster spots.
Stevens emphasized the importance of the current roster playing more consistently to give the team the best chance of winning. He discussed the decision-making process behind trading Springer and expressed confidence in the team’s direction moving forward.
With one more open roster spot, the Celtics have the option to convert one of their two-way players to a standard contract or look for players in the free agent market. Stevens mentioned that the team will take its time to assess their needs before making any further moves.
Overall, despite a “boring” deadline day for the Celtics, Stevens remains optimistic about the team’s ability to contend for another championship and believes in the potential of the current roster. For Celtics fans, the focus now turns to the remainder of the season and how the team will continue to develop and improve.
