The Celtics had to give up Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk and Tyler Zeller and a second round pick to make room for Gordon Hayward and Marcus Morris

When considering that Morris soon goes on trial for felony aggravated assault and will likely miss the upcoming NBA season the moves ostensibly netted Gordon Hayward.

This is not markedly different than the value given up for stars Jimmy Butler and Paul George

Jimmy Butler was traded for a 2017 first round pick swap, Zach Lavine, and Kriss Dunn
Paul George was traded for Oladipo, and Sabonis

Of the three (George, Butler, and Hayward) Butler had the highest PER and WS last season while also totaling the highest number of points, assists, steals, blocks, and A/To ratio, he was also the only player of the three to make an All-NBA team last season.  Hayward is the only one of the three not to have made an all-NBA, or all defensive team in his career.

Contracts:
George is signed for 1 year at 18 million while OKC also acquired his Bird Rights.
Butler is signed for 3 more years starting at 17.5 million per and escalating 1 million each season thereafter- the third year being a player option at 19.5 million
Hayward is signed for 3 years at 30 million per year.

Did the Celtics really end up with the best player?  Did they end up with the best deal?

This is flat out not true, and nobody should really debate the points of this when it is including such blatently false info to make an argument.

Is that what the talking points are under the bridge these days?

Just so we're clear a felony is a crime punishable by more than a 1 year jail sentence.
