Seven years ago today on June 28, 2013, the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets agreed to one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history.
At the time, though, many felt it was the C's getting the raw end of the deal by trading away franchise cornerstones Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett along with Jason Terry. In exchange, Boston received Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, Marshon Brooks, Kris Joseph, Keith Bogans, first-round picks in 2014, 2016, and 2018, and the right to swap 2017 first-rounders.
Although none of those players made a tremendous impact for the Celtics, that bundle of draft picks made them the undisputed winners of the trade. Plus, Pierce and Garnett didn't even make it two seasons in Brooklyn at the tail end of their respective careers.
- 2014 first-round pick: James Young
- 2016 first-round pick: Jaylen Brown
- 2017 first-round pick: Jayson Tatum
- 2018 first-round pick: Used to acquire Kyrie Irving from Cavaliers.
Even though the deal hasn't resulted in a championship, the additions of Brown and Tatum have helped the Celtics become perennial contenders.
