One of the biggest trades of the 2010s drastically changed today's NBA landscape.

The Boston Celtics have a long history of success, with 17 NBA Championships and a reputation for being well-run.
After a 20-year championship drought, the Celtics made a big trade to bring in Kevin Garnett and won the championship in 2008.
The Celtics traded away aging stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce in 2013, but used the draft picks they acquired to build a talented roster led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
