It’s a bittersweet day. First the bad news. After three plus years of targeting Anthony Davis, the Celtics did not acquire him despite having (by all accounts) the best collection of assets. Instead, he went to the hated Lakers to play with arch-nemesis LeBron James. Not great.
On the positive side, we get to build around Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart (not to mention the Memphis pick). Those players represent the core future of this franchise and a great basis for building a team around.
