The Celtics hope to become the first repeat NBA champion since the Golden State Warriors, who ironically could make a splash move to get in Boston’s way.
NBA teams were still collecting themselves after the Dallas Mavericks shockingly traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. The blockbuster trade came days before the trade deadline and had many wondering if there was more to come; the San Antonio Spurs also acquired De’Aaron Fox in a blockbuster deal
The Warriors are trying to find ways to maximize the final years of Stephen Curry’s career and could try to call LA to see if it’s interested in another shocking move. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst highlighted Golden State as a team to keep an eye on before the trade deadline. The NBA insider wrote Tuesday that the Dubs “investigated” whether they could get Kevin Durant back, and Windhorst also noted they tried to get LeBron James last season.
Why not both? That’s an idea the Warriors flirted with.
