The second largest deal in the offseason! The East is about to change, the Celtics may withdraw from the championship, and it s time for the two Tanhuas to break up

As we all know, during this offseason, many teams changed hands in the NBA league. Specifically, the three teams, Lakers, Celtics and Trail Blazers, have been officially sold and will welcome the team's new boss.
With the transactions in the player trading market, the change of ownership of these teams is the super heavy deal in the offseason. The biggest deal, of course, was the Lakers being sold, and this summer, Mark Walter acquired the Lakers from the Bath family for $10 billion, ending the Bath era.
In addition, Tom Dunton recently acquired the Trail Blazers for $4 billion, which is also quite unexpected.
At the same time, there is also the change of ownership of the old giant team Celtics.
Recently, the Celtics officially announced that the transaction for the team to Bill Chisholm after receiving unanimous approval from the NBA Council has been completed. This will be the second heavyweight deal in the NBA this summer after the Lakers changed hands.
Chisholm will take over the 18-winning giant from a consortium led by Wyke Grosbeck. The consortium has led the Celtics to win two NBA championships over the past 23 years and has been one of the best-run teams in the league.
Shortly after winning the NBA championship last season, the Celtics started the sale process. In March this year, the team announced that Chisholm, managing partner of Software Technology Group (STG), acquired the team at a valuation of $6.1 billion - a record high in team trading in North American sports history. Of course, this record was quickly broken by the Lakers. After the new Celtic boss took office, the team's business philosophy underwent major changes. The first priority of the new boss is to hope that the team can save money, to put it bluntly, it is to save money. Therefore, we can see that during this offseason, the Celtics completed multiple deals, sending away Holiday, Porzingis and Nian, and did not renew the contract for veteran center Horford. These operations have significantly reduced the team's luxury tax expenditure.
This is not the end. It is reported that the Celtics may trade Jaylen Brown to break up the Celtics' "Double Tanhua" combination.
NBA reporter Brian Robb wrote about the next plan of the Celtics. Brian Robb wrote: "Trading an FMVP is never easy, but Jaylen Brown will probably not retain his position, and the situation becomes more complicated when players like Jason Tatum, Ju Holiday and Christaps Porzingis are no longer available.
I guess the Celtics will send Jaylen Brown to the Spurs after the start of the new season. The Spurs are very interested in him, and they have almost more tradable assets than any team in the league."
Actually, this is understandable. The Celtics have won the championship last season, which is a success. In this year's playoffs, Tatum suffered a serious injury from a torn Achilles tendon and was destined to be unable to return in the new season. There is no hope for this team to win the championship next season. It is better to take the opportunity to make a big breakthrough and let the team go in a new direction.
If the Celtics break up the Double Tanhua combination, then the pattern in the east will undergo major changes and the competitive pattern of the league will be greatly affected.
The double-Tanhua combination of Jaylen Brown and Tatum is actually not very compatible. The role of the two people is often somewhat overlapping. Trading Jaylen Brown at this time is also to maximize his trading value. In addition to the Spurs, the Rockets may also be interested in Brown. There is Brown's mentor Uduka and a mature lineup team, which is very suitable for Brown to play.
Perhaps next season, this Celtic team will be beyond recognition, and I don’t know what Celtic fans will feel.
