Completed Q&A: B-Robb on Celtics, trade deadline 2.8.18

There's nothing like trade deadline day in the nBA, so I figured it be fun to push back our usual chat day this week from Wednesday to Thursday to break down the latest happenings as we approach the 3 p.m. deadline Thursday afternoon. Questions on the Celtics' plans and league wide trades are welcome, as are the usual collection of team focused questions including Marcus Smart, an ugly loss to the Raptors on Tuesday night and whatever else is on your mind.

Here’s a reminder how this will work in the comments:

If you have signed up as a subscriber, then you can leave questions about whatever you want down below. Just after 12 p.m. on Thursday, I’ll go through and answer as many as possible before game time. When it’s done, all that will be left are the Qs that were used, my replies and any follow-ups by the original questioner. To make it a clean experience for everyone, please don’t use this the way you would an ordinary commenting thread, where we normally encourage a healthy and respectful discussion.
