I get wanting to save $15 million and dealing Jaden Springer… but it had to be nice for the Celtics when they realized they could see an opposing player starting to light it up, then turn to Springer and say, “Sic ’em.”
It’s a tool Joe Mazzulla could have used more often. – 12:17 PM

More on this storyline
A league source said that Springer’s uptick in playing time recently — he played 20 minutes apiece against the Clippers and Bulls in the last two weeks — was not a front office directive to essentially audition him for prospective suitors. The source said that Mazzulla has simply been using Springer in spots that he believes will give the Celtics a chance to win. -via Boston Globe / February 5, 2025
Yahoo Sports’ Kevin O’Connor discussed the Celtics showcasing their backup guard, Springer, in an attempt to strike a deal before next month’s deadline, per The Kevin O’Connor Show. “I’ve heard that they’re open to trading [Celtics] Jaden Springer. He’s been playing lately. I’d imagine that they’re trying to feature him to increase his value,” O’Connor said. “He’s a very good defender, hitting some 3’s for Boston, some clutch 3’s. I’d look to flip Jaden Springer for a Big. I think Day’ron Sharpe is interesting. If they package 2 1sts with Springer to the Jazz for Walker Kessler, I’d be interested in that type of trade package as well.” -via Clutch Points / January 29, 2025
