Less than an hour left before trade deadline is over, strong indications #Celtics will stand pat and look to make major moves this summer.
Still 20 minutes to go, though. Like I said... imagine this hypothetical example.
Two weeks ago Suns and Lakers have a discussion:
Suns: "We want Pau for Okafor"
Lakers: "If you give us a 1st, we can do it"
Suns: "No. How about a 2nd"
Lakers: "well... fine. But give us until the deadline. We still want to see if the Timberwolves will come to their senses and take Pau + our lotto pick for Kevin Love and filler"
Suns: "Ok... cool. Hit us up around 2:55pm on deadline day. We're still trying to trick Desperate Danny into giving up Rondo for peanuts, anyways"
Lakers: "Lol, funny... we are trying to trick Desperate Danny into giving up Rondo for peanuts too. Hit you up around 2:55pm... peace"
