How will the trade of Luka Doncic affect the rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics? One of the oldest and arguably best not only in the NBA but all of professional sports, the Celtics have recently had the upper hand in terms of total titles won after finally hanging Banner 18 in the 2024 NBA Finals last year.

Tatum, 24, helped the Celtics to a blowout win against the new-look Miami Heat on Monday night. Despite his status initially being in question for this game, the six-time NBA All-Star was eventually cleared to play and he led all scorers with 33 points, shooting 50% from the field.

The Lakers are in desperate need of a center after the Luka Doncic trade as multiple names have been floated around the league.
