Welcome back everybody my name is Tucker and today is another video that was sparked by a comment down below... this time by Nathaniel Morris. This is something that I have thought about doing a video on even before this comment but it did bring it to my attention again, and that is basically that if you’re an NBA franchise and the Boston Celtics call you or you call them about making a trade, just don’t do it... hang up the phone, call somebody else, don’t make the deal... because you’re going to lose. To be clear this isn’t specific to the Danny Ainge era, the Celtics in general have traded well historically, and Ainge’s early years as GM definitely have some deals in there that you could question... but I am talking about just right now, in the era in which Ainge has been the GM of the team and Brad Stevens has been the coach as well... you should NEVER, and I mean never, trade with the Boston Celtics if you’re an NBA team. I went back and looked at every deal the franchise has made since these two joined forces in Boston, which is only a thing because of the wonderful people at basketball reference without which I probably couldn’t make this video so huge shoutout to them... and I have picked out 4 specific instances of major trades that show exactly why you should never trade with the Boston Celtics.
Trade 1: December 18, 2014: Traded Dwight Powell and Rajon Rondo to the Dallas Mavericks for Jae Crowder, Jameer Nelson, Brandan Wright, a 2016 1st round draft pick (Guerschon Yabusele was later selected) and a 2016 2nd round draft pick (Demetrius Jackson was later selected). (Boston also receives $13M trade exception.)
Trade 2: February 19, 2015: As part of a 3-team trade, the Boston Celtics traded Marcus Thornton and a 2016 1st round draft pick (Skal Labissiere was later selected) to the Phoenix Suns; the Boston Celtics traded Tayshaun Prince to the Detroit Pistons; the Detroit Pistons traded Gigi Datome and Jonas Jerebko to the Boston Celtics; and the Phoenix Suns traded Isaiah Thomas to the Boston Celtics. (PHO 2016 1st round pick received from BOS is CLE's pick and is top-10 protected.)
Trade 3: June 19, 2017: Traded a 2017 1st round draft pick (Markelle Fultz was later selected) to the Philadelphia 76ers for a 2017 1st round draft pick (Jayson Tatum was later selected) and a future 1st round draft pick. (Future 1st-Rd pick will either be LAL's 2018 pick if it falls between 2 & 5, or the better of PHI & SAC's 2019 picks, unless it is the #1 pick)
Trade 4: August 30, 2017: Traded Jae Crowder, Isaiah Thomas, Ante Zizic, a 2018 1st round draft pick (Collin Sexton was later selected) and a 2020 2nd round draft pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Kyrie Irving. (2020 2nd-rd pick from BOS to CLE is MIA's pick, and was added as compensation for Isaiah Thomas's injury)
