Over the past week, we’ve all heard how the Boston Celtics stepped away from the negotiating table once the Brooklyn Nets countered Brad Stevens’ original offer for Kevin Durant. And at some point or other, we’ve all tried to figure out who the ‘additional role player’ could be, should Stevens re-enter into discussions in the coming weeks.
Rest assured, there’s little-to-no chance that the additional guy will be Robert Williams, as giving up Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, and the Time Lord is the quickest route to NBA purgatory — regardless of who’s coming back in return.
