I mean I've seen some bad ones but that is amazing for its terribleness.  Miami gets Tatum and Brogdon for Bam and Herro.  Portland gets Brown, Smart, and Rob for Simons, Little, and 3.  Both of those are horrible alone, but combining them, just wow.

3 team trade.  Not sure the value is right for Toronto

Boston - Siakam, Simons
Portland - Brown
Toronto - Smart, Gallinari, Little, #3

I’ve proposed variations of this before. I think that’s about right, though a 2nd rounder or two may be needed. But the number three pick and Little  for Siakam with one year left seems about right.

Tatum likely has a top 5 highest trade value in the league right now (some order of Giannis, Jokic, #1/Wemby, Doncic, and Tatum). I don’t think that package is worth it for Tatum alone, let alone Brown, Smart, Timelord, and Brogdon, too.

Brown for
Green Smith no 3 no 20 and a future pick
Use the picks for scoot and lively

So here's an interesting thought experiment - kicked off solely on the fact that his personal life seems to be leaking all over the place, his team might want to move on, and the trade technically works as a 1:1 swap - what about Brown for Williamson?

Let's also assume for sake of argument that Zion is not inescapably trending toward eating his way out of the league on the Dwight Howard diet.

Brown for Zion? Yeah I’d do that trade. Idk if NOP will but I mean, Brown is a legit All-NBA talent. NOP could form their own Tatum-Brown combo with Ingram-Brown.

Meanwhile, C’s get a monster of a big man (with health issues, fine) who is an absolute workhorse and fits in the team ethos. Sure he doesn’t shoot threes but Zion has a lot of talent and would play well with Tatum and our other ball-heavy guards.

How about Brown for KAT and Slo Mo? I feel like Slo Mo would fit really well here because the C’s generally like their do-it-all players. And yeah, it really becomes Tatum’s team. No more 1A 1B. KAT will fall in line behind Tatum, and hopefully maximize his impact on the court

That trade doesn't work as the Celtics would be taking back $13.4M more in salary.  We would have to send out Pritchard and Muscala or some other combination of offsetting salary.

Still a potentially workable deal.  I like the deal for the Celtics (even though it still adds $5.8M in salary) but not sure MIN would do it.

Ingram-Williamson is a better combo than Ingram-Brown so I don't see the value in this trade for NOP, unless they feel Zion is shot and in that case, the Celtics don't want any part of him.

It's an offer that would at least take a few moments to think about, but ultimately, I'm not taking that risk.  Zion looks more like an NFL DT than he does a basketball player, and he's got chronic injury issues.  I've never bought into the "next Lebron" hype, though.

He may very well but up an MVP season in his career, but he's also going to have a lot of years where he misses 40+ games.

To clarify on Zion, he has career averages of 25.8 pts, 60.5% FG%, 34.3 3P%, 7.0 rebs, 3.6 assists 2.9 TO, in 114 games.  That is really good for a 22 year old.  A potential first team all-NBA big who can do it all.  That best possible version of Zion is more valuable than Brown.  And would be a better complement to Tatum.  Unfortunately that is only 114 games out of a total of 246 games.  Only 46% of games.  There is a huge risk with his durability.  Trading Brown for him would be a huge risk that the Celtics just don't need to take.  And it would not make any sense for NOP to sell low on him right now.  They need to get him back on the court and see what they have with him.  They could be a really good team, just as they are.

There are a million reasons why New Orleans would never go for this trade, but that's true of pretty much every trade proposed on any message board ever. Presuming the Pelicans did agree to a 1:1 swap, how do you feel about it? Do you swap Brown's even-keeled performance for the highs and lows of putting Williamson on the squad?

I thought I was pretty clear.  No.  Too much risk.  The Celtics don't need to take that kind of risk.  Some other team may be in a place where they have more appetite for that kind of risk but it makes no sense for the Celtics to take that risk.
