This trade idea, proposed by Matt Levine of Celtics on SI, is a three-team deal between the Celtics, Toronto Raptors, and Memphis Grizzlies.
Also, after not losing a single game by double digits from the start of the season through the end of December, the Celtics have since suffered defeats of 13, 13, 17 and 21 points, all in their last 10 games. Those also were the only games this season in which Boston failed to score 100 points.

The Celtics had to sweat out an overtime win over the Clippers on Wednesday, but wouldn't have done it without Jaden Springer and his defensive intensity.
