Why do the Boston Celtics do this?

It’s a theme, not just for my articles or this site’s articles, but the NBA community as a whole. Boston has a ton of assets and they are a good team, not a great one. They are a logical team to make a move at this year’s NBA trade deadline. The Celtics keep their most valuable asset (the Brooklyn Nets’ 2016 pick), their starting lineup, and add a dynamic dual threat at forward.

Gallinari can play the 3 or the 4 and immediately makes this Boston team scarier on offense. He’s a versatile player that Brad Stevens would likely get the best out of.

Why do the Denver Nuggets do this?

The Nuggets are in a state of discord. Kelly Olynyk brings outside shooting and could be a very good compliment to the high energy but minimum range Kenneth Faried. They also add a first-round pick to help stock the shelves headed into next season. They flip their best asset in to a solid package and turn their eyes to the future.
