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

Jrue is 33, KP has been dumped by 3 teams already and will not be available to play in May most likely. Cavs trade was bad for both teams, Jae Crowder was in that trade too but still bad value for the Cavs because Kyrie was already making threats. Spurs gifted them Derrick White because they wanted to tank, you are most likely getting better value when teams are selling low and thats what the Celtics do.
