Oh please be Jalen Brunson. Pretty please…

I would take a shot on Porzingis.  Him and Doncic are not a good fit.  He could spread the floor and still only 26.  Hortford and Smart for Porzingis and Brunson.

No thanks, Porzingis is woefully injury-prone and sucks in the playoffs. Wildly overpaid too.

Yeah, give me Brunson and Maxi Kleber.

I'd look to include Utah in the deal if at all possible. Ingles seems to be on the outer, and their depth at the 4/5 spot (as in guys who can play the 4 and the 5) is shallow.

Boston receives: Brunson + Ingles
Utah receives: Kleber
Dallas receives: Smart

Oh please be Jalen Brunson. Pretty please…

Jalen Brunson is only making 1.8 million, on an expiring deal and Smart is locked up for 5 years at 14.3 million this season and 17 next year.

Remember that there is no 'star' free agent available this off-season, so Brunson may get an offer too rich for the Celtics to match.

I agree but Brunson is a player on the rise and may be worth a look at that reported 4 year $80m he is expecting. Marcus is a role player who is grossly overpaid IMO. Brunson would at least appear to be a potential floor general in this league.

This article links to an article from Bleacher Report that mentions nothing about Smart and Dallas, for what it's worth.

Scroll down:

One dark-horse team mentioned as being interested in Grant was the Dallas Mavericks, with Dorian Finney-Smith and probably Dwight Powell as the primary pieces. The Mavericks have also been linked to Collins in Atlanta and Marcus Smart in Boston.

Thanks.  Bit of a throwaway line for Masslive to write an article about it.

I read the article.  Missed a sentence in the Jerami Grant section about 20 paragraphs in that was likely hidden by B/Rs popups.  (No, B/R, just because I'm spending too much time on trade rumors I don't need to by my wife jewelry.)

The Boston media has terrible sources.  NESN is the worst.  These sites will link to just about anything, even if extremely thinly sourced
