Celtics Deadline Trades

This information originally appeared in the Digital Edition of The Boston Globe:

According to multiple league sources, the Celtics traded guards Josh Richardson, Dennis Schröder, and P.J. Dozier, forwards Romeo Langford and Bol Bol, centers Bruno Fernando and Enes Freedom, and their protected 2022 first-round pick, and they acquired Spurs guard Derrick White and Rockets center Daniel Theis, a former Celtic.


These moves also pushed the Celtics about $2.5 million below the luxury-tax threshold, and they will likely make an effort to stay there as they fill out the roster.


The deals left five open spots, so more moves will follow soon. According to a league source, the Celtics will likely fill some gaps by signing free agents to 10-day deals in the short term, then explore the buyout market as players become available in the coming weeks. In the end, though, those transactions generally will just fill space.
