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

All of these guys had red flags that drove their value down a lot (except D. White).

Porzingis - constantly hurt Brogdon - constantly hurt IT - tiny and one of the worst defenders in the league (lost his job completely once his scoring dipped slightly from injury) Kyrie - railroaded his way off a Lebron team White - lesser shooter previously and the Spurs were entering full tank mode for Wemby

the spurs were not on tank mode when they traded white, they just needed more touches to go to dejounte and they couldn't play them both because White was as you said a mediocre to terrible shooter back then
