Celtics can steal defensive icon by joining Giannis Antetokounmpo blockbuster trade

The Boston Celtics are not trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, not when Jayson Tatum plays the same position. That does not mean they have to sit out the Antetokounmpo trade market, however. Such a blockbuster deal could shake lose a player for the Celtics to target -- such as defensive icon Draymond Green.

Celtics fans certainly know the name of Draymond Green. Despite being in opposite conferences, the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics have had a number of memorable clashes over the years. With fiery, talkative defenders like Draymond and Marcus Smart involved in many of them, sparks did fly.
