“With a roster spot open, most executives believe the Boston Celtics will stand pat and wait until the buyout market to add another veteran for a championship run. It’s worth noting Boston expressed interest in several veterans, including re-signing Blake Griffin and free agent forward TJ Warren last offseason.”
“Lastly, before signing with Houston, Reggie Bullock had interest from several teams, including the Bucks, Heat, Celtics, Clippers, and Pelicans, league sources told HoopsHype. Given his proven 3-and-D capability and current role in Houston, he’s also a name to watch.”
“Reserve forward John Konchar is also a candidate to be dealt before the February trade deadline. The Celtics, Warriors, and Lakers are among the teams who’ve kept tabs on Konchar’s situation from afar, HoopsHype has learned.”

Going by previous years, the expectations need not be to high
Yea, the buy-out market likely won’t net us a good player. In fact, we are actually a little more limited this year than in year’s past, (i.e. can’t pick someone up who made more than the full MLE).
However, trade deadlines have been interesting. White + Theis one year and Muscala the next. Muscala didn’t work out, but his advanced numbers got people excited.
