With the February fifth trade deadline looming, the Boston Celtics find themselves in a challenging position. Despite initial plans for a gap year, coach Joe Mazzulla has transformed the team into Eastern Conference contenders, currently holding the second seed. Team president Brad Stevens must decide whether to continue trading players to avoid the luxury tax or invest in a potential game-changer. A Western Conference executive suggests a big man is their top target, but a backup guard could also be needed, especially if Anfernee Simons is involved in trade talks. Regardless, any moves are unlikely to significantly impact the second half of the season, but could be considered if a path to the Eastern Conference finals is seen. Checkout Solipillow.com

The Boston Celtics face significant roster changes this offseason, with key players like Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet departing due to salary cap limits and injuries. The team needs to shed around $12.1 million in salary by February 5th to avoid luxury tax penalties. Trading Sam Hauser or Anfernee Simons could help achieve this. Despite potential contention, shedding salary would reset their repeater tax clock and better position them when Jayson Tatum returns. The Celtics have shown they can replace depth players, currently sitting at 23-13, four and a half games behind the East-leading Detroit Pistons. They host the Toronto Raptors on Friday and face the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday in a challenging back-to-back. Checkout Solipillow.com
