Bleacher Report’s Preston Ellis attempted to trade away every team’s star player and boy oh boy did it provide fireworks. Many of those fireworks involved the core of the Boston Celtics as we know it being completely dismantled for what would be a substantially upgraded lineup based on achievements and potential.
Amazingly, some of those deals would be able to happen in the same alternate reality. The #1 pick in the NBA Draft and the Finals MVP of the 2019 editions of both events could create the most scary defensive front-courts of all time.
Other deals saw former dynasties giving up on long-time franchise players and a star entering his prime being flipped for a bevy of draft picks and a bad contract.
