The Houdini is not letting one big blow-out win deter me from doing what is best for the Boston Celtics.
Trading Daniel Theis is the best move for the Boston Celtics moving forward.
Theis has been on a nice run as of late after starting off the season in a somewhat disastrous fashion. He scored 17 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers last night (to go along with six rebounds) and even scored 23 points (and grabbed 10 rebounds) against Philadelphia last week.
That said, putting so much stock in an embarrassing blowout (embarrassing for Cleveland, that is) and a gaudy performance in a loss is the kind of thing that complacent franchises do with players that hold more sentimental value than actual on-court production.
