The Celtics reportedly have the “strongest interest” in trading for Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond and had been engaged in talks with the Houston Rockets for Clint Capela before they agreed to send him to the Atlanta Hawks in one of the biggest deals in recent NBA history.
However, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge seemingly ended speculation about a major Celtics trade Tuesday when he revealed he’s focused on strengthening the Celtics’ bench.
Stevens obviously has received that message and communicated more-or-less the same thing, as Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET NBA trade deadline nears.
