During his time with the Boston Celtics, former President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge made his fair share of blockbuster trades. He landed Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in the summer of 2007, the draft picks that became Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in 2013, Isaiah Thomas at the 2015 trade deadline, and Kyrie Irving in the summer of 2017.
Ainge recently appeared on the Knuckleheads podcast, hosted by Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles. While chatting with Richardson, he revealed that he nearly landed Jimmy Butler in a blockbuster trade back in 2016.
