Could second apron force the Boston Celtics to trade away key players?

Two seasons ago, #Celtics went from +12 per 100 with just Tatum on to +3 with Brown on, Tatum off.
Last night, they improved to +11 in Tatum-only lineups and in Brown-only lineups. C’s have gotten much better at surviving without Tatum.

Porzingis has put together a phenomenal year especially considering the late start, bumps, bruises and long illness earlier this year. Just unstoppable tonight. – 11:49 PM

Celtics run snap (Spain pick and roll) against the switch, Porzingis seals Booker and gets what he wants. Great play call – 11:08 PM

Devin Booker and the crowd felt Luke Kornet got away with body contact on Oso Ighodaro’s dunk attempt. Book winds up matched up on Kristaps Porzingis in the post and gives him a little shove from the back. Immediately points down to the other end after the whistle blows lol – 10:46 PM

More Horford screens/seals and Porzingis spacing in this one like we saw in the Utah game. Rare free throws for Horford (28/32 FT before tonight). – 10:24 PM

In order to trade for Durant, the Celtics would need to trade Jaylen Brown for KD straight up
Or
First trade White, KP, or Jrue to duck below the second apron and THEN somehow trade for Durant’s $54.7 million contract
It ain’t happening – 9:14 PM
