terrible trade

Answer 6

Answer 8

No it won't work.  A good basketball team is not just about the five best players, but it is about the five players who play the best together. The Boston Celtics have proven that and won't dare tinker with their core that much.  Sure, individually the Suns may have more talent, but the Celtics played the best together.

Also, trades of this magnitude remind me of when the Buffalo Braves and Boston Celtics owners traded teams in the late 70s, and the Braves moved to San Diego and Became the Clippers.  Major player shifts between the two as well (notably Tiny Archibald to Boston)
