In a blockbuster 2017 trade, the Celtics sent Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, and picks to Cleveland for Kyrie Irving — a move that sparked drama over Thomas’s injury but was seen by Danny Ainge as a leap toward future glory. Alongside this deal, Celtics history echoes with key moments: Jeff Green’s lucrative 2012 re-signing, Hank Finkel’s championship run in ’74, and forgotten signings like Darius Miles (who never played) and Tyus Edney (who did). On this day, we also honor Harold Kottman, born in 1922 and part of Boston’s inaugural season, and remember Lou Tsioropoulos, a two-time champ who passed in 2015 — a day rich with legacy, sacrifice, and the ever-present human cost of basketball decisions.
