Well, Boston Celtics fans, we have quite the butterfly effect on our hands here.
Apparently, if it weren’t for the price of Jerami Grant being too high at the trade deadline–which was recently revealed by The Athletic’s James Edwards III–Evan Fournier wouldn’t have landed in Boston for half a season before inking a free agent deal with the New York Knicks this past summer.
That opens up a slew of possibilities as to what else might not have happened had Grant been dealt to the Cs for multiple first round picks this past March instead of Fournier being acquired for multiple second round picks instead.
