Why The Boston Celtics Do The Deal
The Celtics are trading the best player in this deal. By that logic, some will say they’re losing it automatically.

In fact, the Celtics could use such a player. Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White are both very good NBA players.
On the other hand, neither is nearly as dynamic of a player as Murray.
