Jaylen Brown odd trade but I could buy into it

[Celtics978Fan]

I came across an article with an odd trade for Jaylen Brown.  At first I wasn't sure but the more I'm thinking about it, the more it would make sense for the Celtics.  In the article it wasn't Mitchell I believe it was PJ Dozier but I'd want Mitchell and I'd be willing to put in a 2nd round pick or 2.

Celtics - Jaylen Brown
Kings - Keegan Murray, Kevin Huerter and Davion Mitchell. 

The reason I feel this works for both teams is different for both teams.  Kings get to form a legit big 3 with Brown, Fox and Sabonis.  For the Celtics we get some clarity on the team.  One thing you keep hearing is it's Tatum and Brown's team but they're so much a like I think they need to split, since I believe Tatum needs to know it's his team.  Murray is a young up and comer, showing he could become a legit #2 option in the future and a solid 3rd option.  Murray also slides into Brown spot in the line up or can slide to the shooting guard.  Huerter gives us a scoring threat from the outside and also can take up the scoring from Brogdon.  This also makes Brogdon being traded easier having someone who could score off the bench.  Mitchell also becomes the poor man's Marcus Smart and also gives us another point guard. 

Trading Brogdon with this Jaylen Brown idea now opens up more for what you can get for Brogdon.  Taking on a veteran or younger talent becomes more usable by getting Huerter and Mitchell. 

I'm curious to see what you think about this trade idea.  Granted Brown would have to give them word saying he'd stay there and all.  But as for the Celtics Murray is locked in for three years, Huerter for three and Mitchell for two.  Please don't just write this trade is dumb, have an actually conversation.

There's no problem with this deal from the Celtics side. The problem is the Kings would never do it. They're very high on Murray and expect him to make a leap this year. Also, as you mentioned all three of those guys are on cheap deals for 2-3 years. Brown is about to get an enormous, cap-hogging raise.

Besides, Brown has low trade value right now due to fact he has no reason to extend with any team trading for him. That makes him a flight risk in a year.

The time to make a deal with the Kings would have been a year/year and a half ago when they were desperate and Jaylen still had two years left on his deal. Now they're a team on the rise and I wouldn't expect them to make a major deal until they see how high this current team's ceiling is.

You have to be really, really high on Keegan Murray. I like him but not for Jaylen Brown.

Like I said it was just an interesting trade idea with the article.  I know they have the cheaper contracts an for length, but that's why I was saying Brown would have to want to be there.  If he was though, honestly I'd be interested in this trade even if we had to throw in a couple seconds or even a first.  Thank you for actually replying and not just giving a stupid reply.

Honestly I'm high on Keegan Murray but I'm high on the package of the three players.  Since Brown is a great player but with Tatum, Brown and now KP we're going to have so much money invested in 3 players.  So I'm looking at Murray as a rising start on the cheap rookie deal, Huerter being a good scorer and Mitchell being a poor mans Smart.  A great team is going to win a championship not just three players.  Plus I'm finding Tatum and Brown are to much a like and I think with giving the team finally over to Tatum and him not feel like Brown is over his shoulder, Tatum could go to another level.

Your analysis is fine, but you just didn't consider it from the Kings' perspective. They LOVE Murray. They were waiting to draft his brother until he was taken by Portland. They expect big things from Murray this year and he didn't disappoint so far with a big 41 pt. game in summer league. Add in Huerter on one of the biggest bargain deals in the league currently and a useful defensive specialist in Mitchell and the result is a quick hang up of the phone if Brad ever tried to propose this.

But they get a proven all-nba and 2x all-star in Jaylen Brown. Throw in sweeteners like Brogdon and a pick or two and that may change their tune.

I was more looking at why the Celtics would.  As for the Kings they'd have to really want Brown to create a big 3.  If they wanted some fillers like a Pritchard or someone with a pick or two I'd be willing to still do a trade like this.
