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 Boston Celtics surely won't be the NBA's most active team leading up to Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline. However, they can't just sit out

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.

LeBron James joined NBA icon Michael Jordan as the only players to score 40 points in a game at the age of 40, pouring in 42 on Thursday as the Los Angeles Lakers held off the Golden State Warriors 120-112.

The Celtics are 9-1 against the Mavericks in their past 10 games, the only loss coming in Game 4 of the NBA Finals last season.

The Boston Celtics fell to the Dallas Mavericks, a rematch of the 2025 finals that saw the Celtics capture a coveted 18th NBA title. With the 127-120 loss, Boston's win streak ends at four games. The Celtics never really locked in for this one.
