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

Celtics have a great team defensively and offensively that allows all players to shine there.

Put Pritchard on a team like Warriors and he'll struggle on defense due to his size. Celtics just put large wings around him and that makes him look good.

Tldr; every player looks extra Amazing on the Celtics since they're a legit scary team.

Funny you mention Pritchard and the Warriors specifically because they’ve shown interest in him last year. I’m sure they could figure out how to work him into their scheme. He’s a good defender somewhat stalky defender, just short.
