The historic trade that sent Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry and DJ White to the Brooklyn Nets marked the end of an era for the Boston Celtics. The Banner 17 squad was finally broken up with the deal.
Over the past 10 years, the Celtics have had substantial success, consistently making the playoffs each season save the first year of Brad Stevens’ tenure as head coach. They have achieved a high regular-season win percentage. Boston has acquired talented players such as Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Gordon Hayward, Kyrie Irving and Al Horford.
However, they have fallen short of winning another championship despite being a talented team in the years since that last era of title contention.
To take another look back at that momentous trade and all it has made possible since, take a look at the clip embedded below courtesy of NBC Sports Boston.
