The NBA trade deadline is Thursday at 3 p.m. ET, and the entire league is watching to see if the Milwaukee Bucks deal nine-time All-NBA player and two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo after 12 seasons with the franchise.

The Chicago Bulls made their first move of the trade deadline Saturday night, receiving two second-round picks and forward Dario Šarić while acting as facilitators in a three-team trade with the Sacramento Kings and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Whether it be their injury report on Saturday night or a recent report from a league insider, there is reason to believe the Chicago Bulls are finally thinking long-term.

And there are issues, such as bench scoring. While the Celtics have a group of younger players who have made unexpected impacts as reserves, the bench could use an offensive boost. Anfernee Simons, who has a $27 million expiring contract, has filled the role of bench scorer admirably but he needs help.

Less than a week remains until the NBA trade deadline. On Feb. 5, we'll find out how much teams changed up their rosters for the home stretch of the season. It's the last chance for contenders to add more pieces and for rebuilding situations to add more draft capital.

The Celtics reportedly are unlikely to take "big swings" ahead of Thursday's deadline. The post 8 lesser discussed potential trade deadline candidates that could make sense for Celtics appeared first on Boston.

Every February, fantasy seasons die the same way. Not because of injuries. Not because of bad luck. Because managers panic. The trade deadline hits. The box scores swing. Social media explodes. And smart rosters get blown up by dumb, rushed decisions. There is one mistake that does it every year: Overreacting. Not reacting. Overreacting.
