As the trade deadline gets closer, the Boston Celtics have their eye on a $20 million forward who seems like he could seamlessly fit into the Celtics' schemes, particularly on defense.

Additionally, Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has given praise to Boston for taking a more mathematical approach to basketball. This high praise comes after the Celtics beat the Mavericks 122-107.

Finally, reigning NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown has gotten candid about this season, saying that the Celtics' energy hasn't been flowing as well as last season. This echoes the sentiment of Kristaps Porzingis, who says the team is playing more like a house cat this season instead of a lion.
