The trade deadline is only a few weeks away, and the Celtics have tools to make deals between now and then. Where do they stand halfway through the NBA season? Can the Celtics find more help for Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown? Will it cost them Payton Pritchard? John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Keith Smith of Spotrac discuss the tools at Brad Stevens’ disposal and what seems most likely.

Love the show…the intro video kills me..great song but we need better john
I don’t know who the Celtics will trade for
I have been waiting for this podcast all day thank you John and shoutout to Keith Smith too ☘️☘️☘️
I’ll be at the game tomorrow are you going to be there?!!
Keith Smith is the man. Good stuff John!
Carmelo Anthony still at home?…vet min on a contender…anyone else agree
If we could trade for bojan bogdanović i wouldn't be mad at all 21 point per game rob Williams can cover for him when he gets blown by i think is a great trade n I think we can do it
We have enough skill players. Need to find that beast type in the mould of Baynes/Kanter but better. I would be targeting Poeltl/Plumlee.
Don't need a wing imo. Hauser is fine, especially with Rob as John mentioned. Get another C and even Horford can play mins for Brown or Tatum.
I'd rather keep Hauser over Kornet. No doubt
John love the long podcasts please make the longer vids in the future! Great interview with Keith, gotta have him on more often. Also I think the reason rob has been playing less is only because he isn’t in game shape otherwise he’d be back to his normal 25-30 minutes a night. It’ll be necessary if they want to make another finals run this summer. They definitely want to move forward acting as if he was never injured.
Yessss Keith🔥☘️
@John was a fun watch and listen. Glad to see Keith Smart on again
I think we are missing a strategy: trade for a backup big to help with rim protection when Rob or Al needs rest during the regular season and have Grant be the backup wing. We have seen him play much more similar to a wing this season with the drive into a floater and it means Grant could really body up some wings.
Crowder is so overrated and a complete freaking egomaniac. I washed my hands of him when he started crying about fans wanting Hayward here-despite how the Gordo situation played out. I wouldn’t trade him for a bag of balls.
This is my first time hearing Keith speak. Now I have a voice to match the tweets 💀. I feel like we need a backup big and wing . Magic don’t need Terrence Ross lol
Go get OG
Keith looks like Brian Windy’s baby bro
A big man would be great. I'm not tryna rely on Rob playing 31 minutes in the playoffs or Al Horford. A Nerlens Noel, Mo Bamba, Mason Plumlee, Kelly Olynyk, Naz Reid, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jalen Smith etc would be great. A wing like Derrick Jones Jr would be great. Most of these guys are not worth a lot.
Would love to see a collab with Bobby Manning from the Garden Report CLNS.
