Celtics GM explains "boring as hell" trade deadline and why he's not concerned by his team's up and down performance.

The Boston Celtics were relatively quiet at the 2025 NBA trade deadline. The team's only move was a financial one, as Boston sent guard Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets for a pick swap, saving Boston $15 million in luxury tax penalties.

The Celtics still have work to do with their roster after sitting out the trade deadline on Thursday in the wake of dealing Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets. That trade provided some cost savings in the interim for Boston’s luxury tax bill but it also opened up a second roster spot on the team’s 15-man roster.
