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

It’s simple really, just trade with tanking teams because they don’t want top tier players anyways.

Yeah, and Boston has its stars so they’re never going for the homerun star (who also somehow found themselves in position to force a trade or be traded in the first place).

The Harden trade looked like the steal of the century for nearly a year… then, it turns out, the dude who soured in two other spots where he was treated like royalty somehow found fault with the third.
