This is a huge hypothetical, but IF Brown was traded for a less ball dominant & cheaper player, would trading either Smart or Brodgon for CP3 actually be a turning point for this team?
Firstly, given our guard depth, Paul would never be overworked, especially in the regular season.
I’m sure Paul would work his ass off for one last shot at a ring & he could offer something the Celtics have been lacking since prime Rondo, a floor general.
