I just can't see Boston making any moves until the offseason. They give up a ton of flexibility if they do.
If they wait, they can sign a max player in FA and turn around and flip the Brooklyn pick plus players for another. If they're patient, they could possibly sign Blake Griffin or Hayward and then turn around and trade for a Butler, Cousins, or George.
Making a trade right now removes that possibility as they'd no longer have the necessary cap space to sign a max FA, unless they unloaded some key players.
I can't imagine both Butler and George get dealt before the break. Both teams would probably be wise to hold out. Celtics are going to deal those picks for someone.
