This is a Celtics writer that used to cover Ainge in Boston. He makes a good point. No one thought we were going to trade Don to the Cavs, there wasn't much smoke about the Timberwolves with Rudy, Beverley for THT came out of nowhere, as did Bogey for Olynyk. The one obvious exception to this is the Jazz acquiring Sexton because there were rumors pretty much all offseason about the Jazz being interested in him.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing happen at the deadline...one or two trades that come completely out of left field and catch us all off guard.
