Game 1 is almost here (if only we had a little more buildup!) and if you are a Celtics fan you have to love the opportunity that is in front of the team. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have a chance to win their first championship and do it against Kyrie Irving, the player that turned his back on the team and did his best to tank the franchise. While Irving’s decision to walk out the door remains fresh in the minds of Celtics fans it did happen five seasons ago and a lot… I mean A LOT… has happened in the NBA since then.
So, what better time than now to take a look at some of the biggest moves that have occurred that led us to this point. Before we get into the list a few caveats, first to make this as fresh as possible we are only going to take a look at moves that have taken place since the last time the Celtics were in the Finals. Also because Porzingis has not played in over a month we are going to take that trade off the table as well. That being said let’s dive into the list.
