The Tyrese Haliburton trade was franchise altering. The Pascal Siakam trade was transformational. But don't undersell the deal that sent Aaron Nesmith to the Pacers.
Nesmith plays with a chip on his shoulder. One firmly affixed there following his trade from Boston to Indiana in the summer of 2022.
The Celtics drafted Nesmith 14th overall in 2020, but their patience wore thin and swapped him and pieces to the Pacers for Malcolm Brogdon.
It was a trade many at the time lauded the Celtics and Brad Stevens for.
