The Boston Celtics made their first midseason deals in half a decade on Thursday’s trade deadline, dealing away several players for a trio of new ones in the first such deal since fan favorite point guard Isaiah Thomas came to town in 2015.
It saw the Celtics send out beloved multi-season players like Daniel Theis and Javonte Green as well as relative newcomer Jeff Teague in exchange for Evan Fournier, Mo Wagner and Luke Kornet. And while the team is probably better-balanced now than at was on Wednesday, just how should we grade these trades? There are at least two ways of looking at them we can think of — in a vacuum just considering the present and in the context of the last several seasons and those to come.
With that in mind, let’s grade the two trades.
