The Celtics defeated the Knicks + Flag in 38 points to meet the Celtics management to release the signal of reconstruction!

Downs came and played the Eastern Conference Final

The Celtics, who lacked Tatum, still showed good combat effectiveness when playing G5 and defended their home victory. At that time, many fans questioned Tatum, saying that the Celtics without Tatum played better. In fact, this is just a simple personal dislike Tatum. After G5, I posted a message saying that Tatum is the cornerstone of the offensive and defensiveness of the Celtics. Not only can he score points, but he also has the most rebounds in the whole team, and Tatum’s role on the defensive end cannot be ignored. It can be said that all the dirty and hard work has been done! The crushing defeat in this game proves that the Celtics who lack Tatum are really not good!

Jaylen Brown was caught in the rumor that the No. 1 pick Flag

Before the start of the G6, the news broke that the Celtics management met with the biggest favorite in this year's draft. This move undoubtedly shows that the Celtics management also clearly knew that the Celtics, without Tatum, basically missed the championship this season and even next season. The Celtics' salary space has reached a booming state, and the Celtics' new boss obviously would not want to pay such a high luxury tax.

Jaylen Brown for Flag?

Then the Celtics will inevitably have big deals when the free market opens in the summer. First of all, Porzingis and Holiday are the first targets to be considered for the Celtics to trade. Although Holiday is old, he can still contribute his strength on the defensive end and may still be attractive to other teams. However, Porzingis, whose annual salary reaches $29.27 million this year, may be a target that is difficult to trade. There are rumors that Jaylen Brown, who is in his prime, may be traded until the Mavericks have changed to No. 1 Flag. I don’t know how this deal happened, because Brown’s annual salary is more than $50 million, and the Mavericks have no available salary space to eat this huge contract!

Tatum is the non-sale product for the Celtics

If the Mavericks really want to use the No. 1 pick to make a big deal with the Celtics, there is only one solution I can think of: First, the Mavericks will send Davis + Flagg + Dinwiddie to Jaylen Brown + Cornet + Derek White. This is a mutually beneficial deal. First, the Mavericks already have a strong inside player Lefly + Gafford, and Davis's health attributes are not stable. Secondly, the arrival of Derek White will greatly reduce Irving's offensive and defensive pressure. Jaylen Brown will greatly enhance the Mavericks' forward strength, and their salary will generally be matched. For the Celtics, No. 1 pick Flag is the cornerstone of the team building in the post-Tatum era, and Davis's arrival can also solve the situation where no one in the Celtics' inside line is available!

The Celtics may want to win the No. 1 pick, Flag

In short, the Celtics lineup is likely to be unable to be saved in the summer. Judging from all the signs, the possibility of big deals is increasing!
