The Boston Celtics had themselves a relatively quiet trade deadline this season, trading away forward Justin Jackson to the Oklahoma City Thunder in order to bolster their frontcourt rotation with veteran big man Mike Muscala.
The ball club had been rumored to be in pursuit of San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl and perhaps also looking to bolster their wing depth, while perhaps also rebalancing their roster in other ways as well. But none of those things ended up happening, the Muscala deal being the only move the Celtics’ front office would pull the trigger on before the Feb. 9 moratorium on moving players between teams this season.
