Hi Fabio,

thanks,

Answer
Hi Bruno,

you may be right since in the Celtics history there heaven't been so many trades with the Lakers. At the same time, I don't think there's a particular reason why it happened so seldom. Let's see the trades:

- December 27, 1977: Boston acquired Don Chaney, Kermit Washington and a fisrt round pick in exchange of Charlie Scott.
- January 29, 1999: Boston acquired Tony Battie in exchange of Travis Knight.
- August 6, 2004: Boston acquired Gary Payton, Rick Fox, a conditional first round pick and cash for Chris Mihm, Chucky Atkins and Marcus Banks.

I hope this helps.
