Aaron Nesmith mocks fans' old takes on trade

The Celtics drafted Aaron Nesmith 14th in the 2020 NBA Draft, but after two seasons in Boston, they traded him, along with a first round pick and Daniel Theis for Malcolm Brogdon. Brogdon would go on to win the NBA's 6th Man on of the Year award in his lone season in Boston, but got injured in the playoffs.

As is way too often the case when a team trades youth and first round draft capital for an established player, NBA fans and "experts" overreact to the bigger veteran name. They say revenge is a dish best served cold and Nesmith has let his play do his talking, but after a big game this weekend he also added this to his Instagram stories:

Can't really fault Nesmith for holding a grudge to people who called him nothing.
