The Boston Celtics might just have ruined the best thing they have going for them.
Analysts and fans have long admired the chemistry and camaraderie within the team: it’s been more than just a group of people on a roster, it’s been a family.
And it’s all grown organically and naturally from the ground up.
But that might all be in jeopardy now.
That is because the latest rumor says that Boston attempted to trade for Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets by offering multiple assets, including Jaylen Brown.
Brown, a centerpiece of the team, didn’t seem happy about the idea.
Celtics need to do one of two things:
1) Trade for KD
2) Come out in next 24 hours & say Jaylen Brown is untouchable & not going anywhere.
If they don't get Durant, & they allow Brown to blow in the wind, it'll hurt chemistry this year— & possibly cost them Brown in future.

Justin Termine said the team needs to do something quickly to remedy the situation: either trade for Durant or come out and publicly state that Brown is “untouchable” and not going to another team.
If they don’t do this, they could greatly harm the team’s chemistry.
Celtics Connection
When you watched the Celtics play last season, you saw a team that really understood one another and worked like a well-oiled machine.
These were players who got each other and, most importantly, liked one another.
With this leaked rumor, things could be very complicated in the future.
If Brown isn’t happy, it could create a domino effect.
The team’s chemistry is one of its strongest features and if that is harmed, who knows how far they could fall?
This latest rumor was a bad look for the Celtics and it’s quite obvious that the Nets leaked it in order to hurt one of their biggest competitors.
That is a cold-hearted, brilliant chess move by the Nets and it could really have an impact on the upcoming season.
