The NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone and the Celtics upgraded around the edges. We talked about trading Lamar Stevens for Xavier Tillman yesterday and today we sent out Dalano Banton and brought in Jaden Springer. The Dalano Banton and Jaden Springer trades were actually separate deals so from what I am seeing he was taken into the Grant TPE.

With the core that we currently have, it was to be expected that the Celtics would try to improve marginally. I don't think Springer and Tillman will be massive pieces to the rotation come playoff time but they can certainly help out more that Stevens and Banton in the meantime. Similar to Stevens, Springer isn't a particularly gifted offensive player but he is a great defensive presence. Tillman fits that mold as well and both of them are young and don't make a lot of money which is great considering how expensive our top 6 is!
