Nets will get last laugh after 2014 trade debacle with C's

The Brooklyn Nets are closer to an NBA championship than the Boston Celtics, much closer. That's not opinion, that's fact. When the Nets dealt valuable, unprotected draft capital to Boston for two over the hill future Hall of Famers, Celtics fans refused to let Billy King and the Nets live it down.
The next six-plus years was littered with Celtic fan commentary bashing that Nets regime and mocking the future of the team. Brooklyn was heading down a fruitless path and after cutting bait with King in 2016, Sean Marks made all the right moves to rebuild the team's culture and identity. The groundwork laid by Marks paved the way for the historic free agency period that saw Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant join forces in Brooklyn. A disgruntled James Harden wiggled his way out of Houston upon seeing what the Nets were building with two of his closest off the court friends and thus the current Nets Big Three era was born.

    You're post honest is a big reach. The new Era big threw for the nets have literally nothing to do with the trade between the nets and celtics. You could have titled the post "Nets luck into superstars choice of home city to build super team." If you want to make it about current success. If you want to talk about the former trade between the two teams, as long as Tatum and Brown both stay in Boston, they will get their chance at rings, multiple and not just a solo ring.
