With the NBA trade deadline 13 days away, odds are you’ve heard or read plenty of hypothetical deals involving one of the beloved Jays. These proposals, while annoyingly incessant, should not be cause for any alarm. (Unless, of course, they involve Ben Simmons, in which case they should be treated as threats to our nation’s security). If you have any faith in this team’s brass, you should know that they know that trading one of these franchise pillars would be the errand of a fool.
Don’t just take it from me. Take it from a couple of NBA legends, who recently asserted that breaking up the Celtics’ top two would be all but nonsensical.
