Okay so here's how I look at this trade deadline. We got rid of Bol Bol and PJ Dozier who likely would never have played a game for us. We got rid of Bruno who never played and we got rid of Freedom who was a massive defensive liability and has already been waived. We basically swapped second round picks with the Magic which is most likely a win because they're worse than us lol. 

Now it's time to break down the meat of the trade. We traded Josh Richardson, Dennis Schroder and a 2022 1st round pick for Derrick White and Daniel Theis. What are the two things that we have been needing all year long? A pass first PG and depth at the Center position because Freedom was bad. That is exactly what we got in return. I HATE getting rid of Josh Richardson today but overall, I love our return. Although some people disagree with this, Schroder being traded makes sense because we know there wasn't a path to keeping him so you might as well bring something of value back for him and that is exactly what Brad did. Daniel Theis now slots into your backup big role and gives you great depth at that position while also being able to stretch the floor better than both Rob and Al are doing currently. The addition of Derrick White is great. Similar to Smart, he is a pitbull defensively and is a combo guard meaning he can slot in at the PG or SG spot because of being 6'4". He is a great facilitator and is also hitting corner threes at a 48% rate this season which is excellent. 

Another interesting part to this Trade Deadline is the fact that the Celtics opened up 5 different roster spots. I fully expect Sam Hauser to take on of those spots who has averaged 21PPG in Maine on 48% from the field and 42% from 3. That still leaves 4 open roster spots so you can expect Brad to stay busy during the whole buyout market. DeAndre Bembry was just waived by the Nets who would be another great target for the Celtics.
