Dunno.  Why would another team trade for Horford he's only effective playing on a loaded team as a super role player I don't think he'd be great elsewhere.  Thats a big contract.  He isn't putting another team over the top.

Kyrie and Heyward will be playing their first playoff games defending a title those 2 will be the guys on notice next year.  Irving might be 6th man next year with the way Scary Terry is playing.

Rozeir-Smart-Brown-Tatum back court is in Boston to stay.  Plenty of D and outside shooting there.  That is the core.  Forwards are interchangeable.  Sacramento's pick in 2019 (if they don't rig the lottery and give them #1 overall in which case the Celtics get a mid 20s pick from Philly) will be a forward and the Marcus Morris/Al Horford long term replacement.  Next year Irving is Isaiah Thomas on steroids demolishing 2nd units while Rozeir draws tougher assignments.  Hayward probably plays out his 4 year deal since its so much money.

Trader Danny has to worry about cap space.  Kyrie walks after 2019, Horford after 2020, Hayward after 2021.  No need to trade tehm.  Hes not going to blindly rip teams off for them he'd have to take salary back to do so.  Every year thats 30 mil to give the young players (who I think are too young to make 30 mil per) there might be a sign and trade with one of them as a free agent but I think he just locks up the core you are seeing this playoffs.

Most stars are on their back 9 the Rozeir/Smart/Brown/Tatum core is like having Steph/Klay/Draymond 4 years ago.  A year from now people are going to hate the Celtics 10x as much as they do the Patriots because they are so loaded.
