Poll: Would you trade Brown for half the Kings

[KG Living Legend]

 Brown,  Juanco, and J rich for Fox, Haliburton,  Hield and 6'10" Metu

Horford/Timelord
Tatum/Metu
Hield/G Will
Smart/Haliburton
Fox/Schroder

Horford
Tatum
Hield
Haliburton
Fox

This team would be perfect for Fox in terms of spacing.

 Defensive Celtics

Horford
Timelord
Tatum
Smart
Schroder

[KG Living Legend]

 Fun Small ball lineups.

Tatum
Haliburton
Smart
Schroder
Fox

Tatum would love the trade. Passing upgrade would be immensely better. 

Horford Timelord Enes
Tatum Metu Bruno
Buddy Nesmith Grant
Smart Haliburton Romeo
Fox Schroder PP

 Not a perfectly balanced roster, but a very deep roster.  Schroder will be gone next year so move him for something else.

If this trade happened today in a year C's fans would be proposing all those guys for a All-star level player like JB.

We need to add to Brown and Tatum not take away from them if we want a chip.

[todd_days_41]

Halliburton, Barnes, Hield, Bagley for Brown, Horford, Juancho and 2 2nd round picks.

Kings clean house and get an All-Star (moving back to NoCal) to pair with Fox.

Cs go to the EC finals and lose

fixed it for you.

bad trade that's not getting any better no matter how much you tweak it

[todd_days_41]

Why trade for BOTH Fox and Haliburton? Part of SAC's problem is the questionable / duplicative nature of their fit together, much like folks tend to gripe is the case between Tatum and Brown. Trading one for a more complimentary piece to the other would likely be their motivation.

How about half the Magic?

With the way Anthony and Wagner are playing, I'm not sure Orlando would pull the trigger -- but it's been a long time since they've had a legit star player as the face of the franchise.

feels like we need a big all trade jb trade proposals thread to merge these. I have seen a lot of these ideas or slight variations several times now.

Hell, why not Milwaukee?

Brown, Horford, Richardson, Hernangomez every pick and swap

For

Giannis, Middleton, Portis, Mathews, Nwora

So if I follow you're 'why not', you think Orlando would be overpaying and you'd be happy with that Orlando trade?

Don't be so emotional about it. Trading for Anthony and a rookie is obviously quite different than trading for the league MVP and a guy who has made more all-star games than Brown.

Seriously -- if you had to choose between JKJB and winning more.... which would you choose?

[W8ting2McHale]

I would not trade a Jaylen Brown.
I would not trade him from this town.
Not in a box. Not for a Fox.
Not for a Wall. Not for a Ball.
I would not trade him here or there.
I would not trade him anywhere.
I do not like these trades I see.
I do not like them, let them be.

[keevsnick]

Never, never, never, never, neverrrrr make a trade in which you are sending out the best player.

(unless you are going full rebuild).

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have replied to you. My post was more hyperbole in trading players for half a team and if you're going to do it, at least have the best player in the deal coming the Celtics way.

As for your proposal, it's bad. Harris is a shell of his former self and Wagner and Anthony are young and inexperienced and the trade as a whole only punts our ability to contend farther down the road.

Look, the Tatum and Brown duo have gotten into the ECFs twice and the ECSF once. Those teams were led by the Jays and everyone else was complimentary. But the Jays were so very young.

Last year, without Brown, Tatum won one game in the playoffs. You need minimum two stars to go deep in the playoffs, especially if they are young stars. Tatum alone as a star didn't work and won't work going further. So trading Brown for spare parts makes zero sense if the goal is to win and win in the playoffs.

Would I trade Brown? Sure. But a legit star has to be coming Boston's way if the trade is to be consummated and that star's addition has to make the team better, make the team able to go farther in the playoffs.

An Anthony/Wagner trade doesn't do that. A Fox/Hield trade doesn't do that. You want to add to Tatum/Brown not subtract a star and add complimentary pieces.

At this point you have to look at what a Horford, Smart, parts and picks can get you in trying to get another star or future star. You continue to develop Timelord into a difference making big, trade that Al/Smart package for a true talent and go from there.
