This transaction is impossible as Nikola Vucevic is an NBA center, not an NFL player. The Boston Celtics are a basketball team, making this completely invalid for NFL analysis. No legitimate football merit exists in this fictional cross-sport scenario. Fans would be confused by this nonsensical basketball-football mashup transaction. This move cannot be evaluated as it defies basic sports league boundaries.
