With the NBA trade deadline in the rear view mirror, the Celtics will have to turn to the buyout market if they are looking to make changes to their roster.

Talking to CSN Celtics InsiderA. Sherrod Blakely, Danny Ainge explained why signing players who have been bought out can be a risky move for a team like the Celtics.

Well weigh each guy that comes on the market and see if that can be a boost to our team, explained Ainge. At the same time, I like our team. Bringing in new players sometimes messes up your whole chemistry, and it shifts somebody into a different role that theyre not accustomed to doing. You better know what youre getting.

We brought in Michael Finley, Sam Cassell. . . PJ Brown turned out to be a very good asset to us. Most of the time it sort of disrupts things. At the end of the year you go, wow, we probably shouldnt have done that. Even though on paper it looked like a great acquisition, it wasnt as good as everyone thought it would be.

Chris Mannix breaks down the Boston Celtics deciding to stand pat at the trade deadline, and how the C's were not very close at all to getting Paul George.

For the second straight season the trade deadline came and went with no moves from the Boston Celtics.

President of basketball operations Danny Ainge continues to look at the big picture as his team moves forward with their roster intact.

It wasnt for lack of trying, last year and this year, said Ainge. We came away with Al Horford in the summer. We drafted Jaylen Brown, Jaylen just continually getting better. Im very excited about the future of both those guys. We were also able to get Ante Zizic, who is having a terrific year over in Turkey. I think that our future is looking good.

We hope to have another good summer this year, whether we use the draft pick, whether we trade the draft pick. I think we cant go wrong, as long as we dont screw it up and pay too much for certain assets.
