I’m a big believer in the fact that the Boston Celtics would be much better off keeping their assets and sticking with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown rather than mortgaging their future for Damian Lillard.
With that being said, there are plenty of other teams in the Eastern Conference that could benefit greatly from adding an MVP-candidate caliber player in the 6x All-Star.
