Why The Boston Celtics Do The Deal
No. The Raptors are a team searching for an identity. The Celtics already have one.
It happens to involve leaning on defensive big men like Robert Williams III. Of course, this deal has the Celtics changing their identity.

On the other hand, he’s a significantly better defender. This deal doesn’t force the Celtics to tank. With that said, it does arm them with a prospect like Amen Thompson, Brandon Miller or Cam Whitmore.
