Danny Ainge has done a lot to rebuild this team quickly after tearing down the new Big Three era Celtics. For Boston, it’s become a sort of assembly line effect…
- Acquire a player somehow
- Have said player increase his value immensely as a player for Brad Stevens
- Trade said player for an actually great player
- Watch his trade partner crash and burn to the ground like a basketball Hindenburg.
The latest iteration of this was the Avery Bradley to Detroit trade, in which the Celtics got Marcus Morris and enough cap relief to sign Gordon Hayward.
