Did the Boston Celtics try to trade for Dallas Mavericks big man Anthony Davis?

Did the Boston Celtics try to trade for Dallas Mavericks big man Anthony Davis? It seems that there are reports floating around in the NBA media sphere suggesting that the Celtics had been contacted by the Los Angeles Lakers about making such a move last season.

What would such a swap have been structured like, and who would have been going out for Boston? Would such a trade have even made sense for the Celtics regardless of the deal structure given Davis’ age, injury history, and massive contract? Or could it have been the difference between taking home Banner 19 and what we ultimately ended up witnessing in the version of the 2025 NBA Playoffs that actually went down?
