We are back going to do two trade deadline division previews starting with the Atlantic

then we're going to get to the northwest after that. We're sponsored today by our friends at

helix sleep helix sleep.com slash cap space is your year old to get $50 towards your custom

mattress and sleep on the same bed that I do. Well not exactly the same same brand because you can

customize it for yourself. Let's start with the Boston Celtics here. They use cap space obviously

in the off season but added with the room exception Aaron Baines and a few other salaries as well.

So they find themselves $9.3 million below the tax also have an open roster slot. Let's take a look

though at just kind of what they need as a team. I think that's the place to start here.

Yeah it's interesting because what they need for right now is a little bit different the next year

because I think it would be good to add another perimeter player who can be a part of their second

unit and theoretically if they're adding Gordon Hayward and not really losing anything because they

have all these guys under contract for next year. That player would be less essential next year but

that kind of makes sense with the disabled player exception because that player has to be on an

expiring contract. So I would say you could either go the playmaking route or the shooting route.

I'm still not completely sold on the rozier smart combo in the playoffs. I think that those

guys are both talented but there I don't think they can necessarily be the foundation of reliable

offense but shooting would help too because we just give those guys more space to operate.

Yeah and that disabled player exception everyone will recall that they got that because Gordon Hayward

got injured. What you can do with that disabled player exception it is worth $8.4 million and you

can either sign a player up to $8.4 million for one year or you may trade for a player in the last

year of his contract and there obviously has been a lot of speculation around what they could do

with that. Now of course you still have to give some assets up if you're trading for someone but
