"Brooklyn Nets reportedly asked for Jaylen Brown AND Jayson Tatum for Kevin Durant. " Most celtics fans already hated the previous report of Jaylen Brown + picks for Kevin Durant and with these recent reports. I'd say if it goes through, there'll be riots across Boston. Seems very unlikely that this goes through.

It will be a bad trade for the Celtics if it will include Tatum. He is the franchise player, not Brown not Marcus Smart. So it they bite on the Nets request, it will really be a disaster for them. They have found the right combinations already, including the coach, they've reach the finals and almost had a coach chance to win the championship. I'd say forget about that deal, let their team go to another season intact and see if they can go as far as the finals again and maybe won the ring this time.

I couldn't agree more! They should forget about this deal and forget the thought of acquiring Durant in their roster because that will be just a disaster for their team, they should just focus on what they have now because they are now an experienced team as they managed to have an appearance in the Finals against GSW. I bet they will be much more stronger than any team because of that, they just need more push and exposure to be one of the finest team in the league.

I also have that same opinion about Celtics, they don't need KD, the only thing that they needed to do is to continue doing more progress

with their system, they've made it to the finals last season the players deserves kudos for doing their roles and now they will again try to

push for another shot in chasing the world title, having KD and breaking the good chemistry might not be a good idea for the Celtics' managements.

KD won't do any good for the team because I expect that the deal will mean that the Nets will have Smart and Brown, I don't think that they will just go and grab one player from the Celtics in exchange for Durant, right? So in short, the Celtics will not be the same anymore and that means that they will start from scratch again and might find themselves hanging when Durant starts to make trade request next season if the team won't work-out.

The Celtics would be betting on Tatum and Durant being such a good pair that they don’t need the rest of their core team. I’m sure the pairing of those two would bring in all the ring chaser veteran free agents as well. Personally, I think Durant is going to destroy any team he’s on and set them back 5 years on building out their roster. Durant is great, but I think he’s a risk. I wouldn’t trade for him. He’s a great free agent signing.

I really agree! Durant is undoubtedly a great player but there's something on him that will make any team he's on to suffer, well, except when he's still at the Warriors because there's a lot of other players there who's also a play maker and that team can still stand their ground without him playing.

Celtics shouldn't go blind at this because they will have another years of setbacks if they will get Durant in exchange of their proven and reliable players.
