The 2025 NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and for the most part, the Boston Celtics stood pat. That certainly wasn't true for the rest of the league, as a plethora of big blockbuster trades were made. And while the C's weren't directly involved in those deals, the ever-changing makeup of the league could have a big impact on them.

The Celtics do have limitations in terms of who they can sign on the buyout market. Boston is above the second apron so they aren’t allowed to sign players that were making more than the non-taxpayer midlevel exception ($12.9 million) when they were bought out.
