Earlier in the year, Jayson Tatum jokingly said that he’d trade himself for Anthony Davis. Well, it wasn’t exactly Tatum that said it. It was a story that Cedric Maxwell relayed to Adam Kaufman on CLNS’ Celtics Beat podcast where Tatum’s dad was giving Cornbread a hard time for suggesting trading his son for AD and when he told Jayson the story, he said, “yeah, I’d trade me too for Anthony Davis.”
That may have been playful banter between the Tatum’s and the longtime Celtics TV broadcaster, but there’s always truth in jest and that moment is here.
