Patty Mills+FollowThe Trade That Keeps on Giving… to BostonBack in 2013, the Nets went all-in for Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry, thinking they’d be title contenders. What they gave up? Three first-round picks (plus a swap) that turned into Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and the foundation of the Celtics’ current dynasty window. Brooklyn got one playoff series win out of it. Boston got a decade of contention. Some trades age like wine. This one aged like milk. #NBA #NBATrades #Celtics #Nets #JaylenBrown #JaysonTatum #KevinGarnett #PaulPierce #NBAHistory #TradeFail #Sports 1018Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowCeltics’ frontcourt faces big test vs NetsBoston’s frontcourt depth is about to be seriously tested as Neemias Queta, who’s been a breakout star this season, is now questionable with illness. With Derrick White resting and Jayson Tatum still rehabbing, the Celtics will lean on Luka Garza, who’s been efficient but sometimes struggles with foul trouble. If Garza can’t stay on the floor, we might see more of Xavier Tillman Sr. or rookie Amari Williams. Queta’s rise from fourth-string to Most Improved Player contender has been huge—can the Celtics keep up their momentum if he sits? What’s your take on Boston’s big man rotation right now? #Sports #Basketball #Celtics00Share
