The Boston Celtics find themselves in a familiar position with the NBA Trade Deadline rapidly approaching.
Jayson Tatum and Co. are currently the top-ranked team in the Eastern Conference. The Milwaukee Bucks, who sit second, are more than three games behind them in the standings.
Thanks to a busy offseason that saw them ship out Marcus Smart and add Kristaps Porzingis, Boston doesn’t necessary need to do anything else. That said – trade rumors continue to surround the organization.
This week, in the midst of all that noise, the Celtics found themselves trending when one of their cheerleaders saw her wild photos go viral:

Unlike their rival Los Angeles Lakers, who are being linked to two blockbuster trades, Boston doesn’t seem to have any specific imminent moves on the horizon.
That said, insiders around the league are still expecting them to do something.
“Ultimately, multiple league sources have indicated to MassLive that the Celtics are strongly expected to make some kind of move ahead of the trade deadline,” MassLive’s Brian Robb reported.

“Keeping the team’s roster fully intact now past the guarantee deadline keeps more potential opportunities open for getting a deal done to bolster the back end of the roster.”
Who will Boston add ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline? Time will tell.
But either way the Celtics figure to be stacked as they head into the second half of the NBA season.
