How much of a threat are the young Cavs in the East this year and potentially down the road to Boston?

Rightfully lost a bit in the panic surrounding what the Boston Celtics ought to do in the wake of the news that veteran forward Danilo Gallinari is likely to miss all of the 2022-23 NBA season due to a torn left ACL is a deeper analysis of the trade that sent Donovan Mitchell to the Cleveland Cavaliers and what that could mean for the Celtics.
