Make no mistake. This would be a major gamble for a number of reasons, but Celtics exec Danny Ainge never shies away from a chance to assemble a winner. A Kyrie Irving-for-Kawhi Leonard trade admittedly is fraught with questions about injuries, preferred destinations and team chemistry, but the high risk/high reward outcome could produce an NBA Champion.
If this deal happened, Boston would be looking at a starting line-up of Al Horford, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kawhi Leonard and Gordon Hayward. Okay, you ask - who is the point guard?
