The 617 Life Podcast: Reacting to Celtics' uneventful NBA trade deadline

The 2020 NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and the Boston Celtics did nothing.

Danny Ainge, formerly known as "Trader Danny," decided to stand pat and stick with his current group as the C's make their march toward the playoffs. 

That didn't sit well with plenty of fans in Boston. Many hoped the undersized Celtics would pursue a big man or even a bench scorer that could come in handy come the postseason.

On the latest edition of the "That 617 Life" podcast, hosts Leroy Irvin, Shanda Foster and Cerrone Battle broke down the C's inactivity and the resulting outcry from fans

Battle didn't quite understand why Celtics fans were so upset about Ainge not making a deal.

People are losing their minds. There's a kid in Washington, his name is Davis Bertans ... He's a 6-10, stretch four, can hit the 3, and the Celtics were interested in this kid. And the story was they wanted two first-round picks for this dude. And Danny Ainge said, "No, I'm not giving you -- only person in Washington getting two first-round picks is Bradley Beal.' And people are losing their minds. People who, mind you, I guarantee have never seen this dude play a game in their lives.

Irvin doesn't see why acquiring a big man is considered such a need for the C's.

I think part of it is people want something to talk about, and when they don't get something to talk about -- as simple as that may sound -- it pisses them off.

I think another part of it is a lot of people around here have all of a sudden become really, really scared of bigs in the game ... My whole question is, when in the world did having a big become such a big deal when the league hasn't been trending that way for I don't know how many years?

The crew also discusses the Red Sox' controversial Mookie Betts trade and much more in this week's episode of "That 617 Life" podcast on the NBC Sports Boston Podcast network.
