Why do other teams keep trading the Celtics good players for terrible value? (alien.top)

Year after year they somehow retool around Tatum and Brown or other stars and other teams help them. This year it was Porzingis and Jrue for Smart (injured), Brogdon (injured), Rob Williams (out for year), and a few first rounders that will be worth dust. Last year, they got Brogdon for Nesmith and a first rounder, there’s the Cavs giving them Kyrie for a busted IT and the Nets pick, the Spurs gifting them Derrick White for dirt cheap value of Langford, Josh Richardson, a late as hell first rounder, and a 2028 swap, Suns giving them Isaiah Thomas for a first rounder. Not really understanding why teams keep doing bad business with this franchise

Porzingis went to Boston and got a max deal, it’s working right now but that isn’t a risk-free move by them.

Kyrie was a weird one where his value was lower because he asked for a trade, it’s not like the Thunder being asked about PG. Cavs were in a bad position.

Isaiah Thomas for a first at the time was not a fleece.

Boston is just a well run team, I’m sure they have plenty of misses (Hayward) that you are leaving out.
