Did the Boston Celtics term commercial reserves Dalano Banton and Lamar Stevens too soon? Banton and Stevens are now both thriving, with the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies, respectively, since the Celtics traded them for Xavier Tillman, Sr. and Jaden Springer at the 2024 NBA deadline.
Did Boston trade them too quickly given their current quality of play? And what impact will Tillman and Springer have this late in this season? Did the front office make a mistake here, or do they have a vision that we’ll have to wait a bit to see in action?
CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning, Josue Pavon, John Zannis and A. Sherrod Blakely took the time to discuss this question in a recent episode of the NBA podcast “The Garden Report.”
