The 2022 NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and with it and the time needed for their young roster and new coach to gel, the Boston Celtics are a very different team.

A league-leading defense and a humming offense finally have the Celtics looking like the team many hoped they'd become, with this iteration of the team looking like it's going to make some noise in the postseason. And while there's plenty to be happy about, it's worth remembering that as much as the NBA is a business, much of the work that takes place at the deadline isn't so easy on players and their families.

To strike a balance between the two poles, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast got together with friend of the pod Anna Horford to talk about what the deadline was like for her brother Al and her family, the team's new look and both sides of the coin regarding what went into it. 

Justin Quinn, Alex Goldberg, and Cam Tabatabaie also talk about everything from Deuce Tatum's budding stardom to whether Al will be dancing at Anna's wedding coming up soon, so be sure to tune in to hear it all.
