NBA History would have been rewritten if the Nets hadn't made a deal with the Celtics in 2013.
The Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 106-88, in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals on Monday to capture the franchise's 18th NBA championship. Jaylen Brown took home Finals MVP, and he and Jayson Tatum have finally silenced the critics, leading the team to victory.
Looking back, many thought Brooklyn won the trade, as nobody could have predicted the team to fall that far, resulting in back-to-back top-three picks in 2016 and 2017. However, Pierce and Garnett heavily regressed with the Nets, with the team really being led by Brook Lopez, Deron Williams, and Joe Johnson. Garnett averaged 6.5 points and 6.6 rebounds in 2013-14, while Pierce put up 13.5 points per game.
