The Nets were generous in helping the Celtics build the juggernaut roster they have today.
The Boston Celtics have been among the most consistent teams in the past decade, and the Brooklyn Nets played a big part in them doing so.
Now, before this season, the Celtics last won the NBA Finals in 2008. In 2013, the Nets made a blockbuster trade, securing Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, the Celtics' two best players in their championship run and two Hall of Fame players. In doing so, they sent their 2016 and 2017 first-round picks Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are the two players the team got in back-to-back drafts, and they both led the Celtics to their NBA title this season. Brown won the Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals MVP, and Tatum is a superstar talent and the best player on the team.
