Although there are many teams that want Durant , there are actually only a few teams that have high-quality chips and the ability to compete for the championship. Celtics is one of them.
has trading chips, but it does not mean that the Celtics will really do this, because they want to get KD, and one of the two top picks must be taken out. Others may have always felt that the two of them are not suitable to partner together, but the Celtics themselves do not feel that , they think the team has found a way for Jaylen and Tatum to coexist!
Their attitude should be the same as that of the Suns: they don't want to change the existing lineup just for one person.
In order to continue to build a championship-winning lineup, is currently the president of basketball operations of the NBA Boston Celtics Stevens has set his goal at the Pacers . In a flash, he completed the perfect upgrade of the team!
You said I lack a guard who can hold the ball, so hereās the deal:
The Pacers sent: Brogdon
The Pacers received: Theis, Nesmith, the 2023 first-round pick , and three two-way players Nick Stauskas, Malik Fitts, Juwan Morgan.
So far, the Celtics' lineup is like this:
Brogdon, Agang, Jaylen Brown, Tatum, Robert Williams!
Substitutes: Pritchard, Derrick White, Gallinelli, Grant Williams, Horford!
Backhand: Davidson, Hauser!
(After finalizing the buyout with Spurs , Gallinari will join the Celtics for 13 million in 2 years. Popovich If he does not retire, he may try his best to destroy the literary class next season)
However, the Celtics It is possible for people to continue trading, because they have the 17.1 million transaction exception obtained in last year's Fournier sign-and-trade deal and expired on July 18, local time (salary for next season is 22.6 million).
In addition, what is interesting is that the Green Army already has three NBA Players Association vice presidents, namely Brogdon, Jaylen Brown and Grant Williams.
Regardless of whether the Pacers' move is considered a freebie, Carlisle's team will really give up like this next season?

Caris LeVert, a 2.01-meter swingman , plays better with the ball in his hands. His height and body shape are advantages for the shooting guard position. He has comprehensive skills. The disadvantage is that he is not strong enough. Need to gain weight to improve confrontation at the basket.
T.J. McConnell , a 1.88-meter guard, a small guard without extraordinary athletic ability, but has a clear mind on the court and is a commander-type player. In addition, the defensive aggressiveness is also extremely high.

Although he lacks the ability to shoot long-range three-pointers, he can rely on Steady scoring with empty cuts. Once the hope of the Pacers, the future is in doubt after a serious injury.
