This trade suggestion also includes two 1st round picks going from Boston to Indiana (Celts and Clippers). I can see some merit on each side to justify the trade, but I don't see it happening. IMO, the Celtics need those picks since they are already the oldest team in the NBA, and this year's draft is one of the best and deepest in a long time. And the Pacers are a good team that doesn't need a total rebuilding (Ray Allen is not a long-term solution), so why would they trade their best player now before they have a chance to close the gap with the Bulls and Heat?

It makes no sense to me either.

They're pointing to the Clippers with Boston wanting young talent and a draft pick, which makes a lot more sense. Idk who LAC would send back, however. A 3rd team would probably need to be involved.
