Your concern seems like it might not be genuine but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here and accept that it is..I am sorry the trade deadline is affecting you so much. If it makes you better, Aaron Gordon + Fournier isn't likely enough to get the C's a banner this year. And for all of the Gordon talk, he is a decent player and nothing more. He is additive but not a difference maker. The Celtics not paying up for what he brings is probably to their benefit long term.
Gordon could fill the role that Hayward had to a decent degree and seems to be a very good fit with the Jays. They definitely wouldn’t be the favorites to win it all but I think it would make them into at least a solid contender.
And with the price that the Nuggets paid was very low. Harris, Hampton and a protected 2025 1st. That’s the equivalent of Thompson, Nesmith and a 1st. That’s not exactly putting a huge dent into the future (and I like Nesmith more than most). Late 1st round picks rarely amount to anything so I am not that worried about giving that up
