You’d have to be a long-time, loyal Boston Celtics fan to remember the name Jerome Moiso.
As a refresher: Moiso was a 6-foot-10 lefty from France who played at UCLA before the Celtics picked him with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2000 NBA Draft.
He ended up playing just 145 games, averaging 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds, as he suited up for the Celtics, Hornets, Raptors, Nets and Cavaliers.
Moiso was out of the NBA by 2005.
He had one lasting legacy, though — a lengthy trade tree.
That tree has finally reached its final branch. Nikola Vucevic was a part of it, but with his signing with the Orlando Magic, there’s no more pieces of the tree to be traded.

Jerome Moiso trade tree
The trade tree started when the Celtics sent Moiso to the 76ers in August 2001 for Roshown McLeod and a 2003 first-round pick.
That 2003 first-rounder turned into Dahntay Jones, the next step on this tree.
The Celtics traded Jones with Troy Bell to the Grizzlies in June 2003 for Marcus Banks and Kendrick Perkins.
Perkins stuck around a long time but was eventually part of a trade with Nate Robinson to the Oklahoma City Thunder in February 2011 that brought back Jeff Green and a few picks.
Green was involved in a three-team trade in January 2015 that sent a future first-round pick to the Celtics.
That first-rounder ended up being Aaron Nesmith in 2020.
The Celtics traded Nesmith in July 2022 to the Indiana Pacers as part of a bigger package to land Malcolm Brogdon.
Brogdon was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of the October 2023 deal to get Jrue Holiday.
The Celtics traded Holiday back to Portland in July 2025 for Anfernee Simons.
And then Simons was dealt before the deadline to the Chicago Bulls for Vucevic.
Now with Vucevic leaving by free agency and not trade, the tree is over.
Jerome Moiso’s legacy is complete.
