The Feb. 23 Trade Deadline is but a few hours away and a number of key NBA players' names are still being dragged in trade rumors. Jimmy Butler's name has been actively linked to the Boston Celtics while an Andre Drummond and Isiah Thomas twitter puns sparked another potential Celtics trade.

According to CBSSports, both Isiah Thomas and Andre Drummond has posted the two eyes emoji on their twitter pages. It can be remembered that Thomas twitted the two eyes emoji right before the Al Horford Boston Celtics signing.

The twitter puns of Thomas and Drummond have sparked another NBA trade chatter that involves an Andre Drummond Boston Celtics trade. A Drummond Celtics trade will be intriguing especially since Boston already has Al Horford manning their middle.

Another Boston Celtics trade speculation that has been going for a long time is the Jimmy Butler trade talks. According to Forbes, the Celtics has emerged as the top suitor in the Jimmy Butler trade chatter.

Acquiring Jimmy Butler makes a lot of sense for the Boston Celtics. Butler has proven himself as a menace in both ends of the floor and having him will make the Celtics improve in both offensive and defensive ends.

However, to make this trade happen, Celtics would have to let go a potential number one pick. The Bulls reportedly demands a potential top five draft pick in exchange for Butler.

Not only is the Bulls interested on the Celtics' draft picks, the Chicago team would also like to have a starter and a top prospect to make the Jimmy Butler trade happen. This demand will put Danny Ainge on a tight spot.

Isiah Thomas is obviously off limits and Bulls will not be going after Al Horford. This puts Ainge and the Bulls on the clock on who among Avery Bradley, Marcus Thomas, and Jae Crowder should be included in the Jimmy Butler trade package.
