Trade Idea for Jaylen next year

[KG Living Legend]

 It's not a realistic trade but I wanted to come up with a trade that you couldn't say no to with Brown next year who is "only" going to Make 49.7 million next year. 

 Initially I didn't want to pull the trigger myself because it does weaken the starting five a little,  but after seeing the emergence of baby Joker you would be silly to turn this down if offered.

 Here it goes.  Out Jaylen Big Money Brown.

  In Dillon Brooks needed for Salary,  Amen Thompson,  Jaylen Green,  Jabari Smith Jr and Sengun

 If you reject the trade please explain why and who would you start with these incoming players.  I'd say Sengun Aka baby Joker he's going to be awesome.

 Also the team isn't finished.  Brad would need to make some moves, but had the ammo to do it.

Sengun
Porzingis
Tatum
Jalen Green
Holiday

The Bench is unreal with Jabari Smith,  Horford,  White, Brooks, Thompson

I like what I’ve seen from Sengun, but I’m not sure a frontcourt of him and KP, or Jalen Green for that matter, are the answer.

  Until very recently I never really considered trading Jaylen . He improves every year and he’s already all nba level ( whether he keeps making those teams or not , he’s around that level) .
  It’s only been so many games but I haven’t seen a glaring improvement yet in a specific facet of his game.
  We can see with Tatum he’s added the post skills and the willingness or WANT to USE those skills.
  I’m not saying Jaylen isn’t a workhorse to improve but for the first time I’m wondering is he nearing his peak.
  We have so many intelligent players on this team in Jrue, White, horford , and I think Tatum is getting there as well. But I cringe seeing Jaylen being up the ball , dance with it for 8 dribbles and go one on one against set up resistance. He’s an excellent t player so sometimes he gets away with it but I’m thinking “ Is this good basketball?” One of the nights he was on fire he put up some bad shots . I get that it’s this fun heat check, but I’d like it better if you use that added attention you’re getting when you’re on fire to get it to the next guy . There’s a little too much “ getting his” to his game still and it’s not necessary.
   This team has too much brains to fall into stagnant iso ball. They gotta use the giant target of KP (in my opinion )more .
  On this team I just don’t think ( in the halfcourt) Jaylen is definitely the best 2nd best option.

There is basically a zero percent chance Houston does that trade.

Assuming Boston doesn't win the title, then I do think a trade of Jaylen may be considered next summer.  If that happens, I think a trade for Jaylen would probably be one centered on a draft pick, specifically from a team that got a high one perhaps unexpectedly.  You know something like the one discussed on here last summer with Portland i.e. Simons and 3 for Brown (other pieces, but those were the main components). 

So potentially projecting ahead.  Maybe a team like the Kings ends up in the lottery.  I think something like this Barnes, Huerter, Lyles, 24 Lottery pick (Kings keep the pick if it is in the lottery), future pick for Brown could potentially work. 

Something like that. So the Kings go all in adding Brown to Fox and Sabonis while Boston gets veteran depth, a lotto pick, and a future pick.  I think overall despite losing Brown, that Boston might be better in that sort of situation (though I do like Huerter and Barnes a fair amount).  That sort of trade also helps the financial situation a lot, which is obviously a factor for the C's ownership.

This is my thinking too. Houston’s young core is playing very well under Ime and I don’t think they’d like to break that up by trading for JB.

A draft pick doesn't fit with the age of the players on this team (Holiday, Porzingis, and Tatum).

That Sac trade idea is brutal.

If Jaylen continues to underperform he will be considered a negative contract lol. No way would Houston give up that package for him.

[johnnygreen]

I think the Celtics would be so much better if Brown adjusted his offensive style of play. I would love to see the coaches adjust the offense so that Jaylen is constantly moving without the ball, ala a Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, or Rip Hamilton. Just like those guys, Brown is an elite shooter, but average at everything else offensively. So why not highlight that elite talent, and limit those other areas. This is Jaylen's eight season, so we're past potential and what he could develop into. He is what he is at this point, and there's nothing wrong with that. In other words, there is simply no reason to trade him, as long as you figure out how to use him correctly.

Mikal Bridges is looking real good right about now. Plays within himself. Low mistake player. High efficiency. Plays well off the ball.

[Ed Monix]

Due to Brown’s super-max contract, there is no trade out there for him.

I completely understand why the Celtics didn’t trade Brown earlier and had to give him that contract, but now our team’s ceiling is completely dependent on him and his turnover flaws.

Literally the only trade I could come up with is with the Nets, and I doubt either teams would do it.

Celtics: Bridges, Simmons

Nets: Brown, Horford, Prichard

Boston Celtics

PG Holiday
SG Bridges
SF Simmons
PF Tatum
C  Porzingis

White, Hauser, Brissett

Please no Ben Simmons on this team

bro
Prime Michael Jordan wouldn't land that deal, you have got to be kidding me.

Jaylen isn't constant motion type of player and he's not going to be turned into it 8 years into his career.  He's also not an elite shooter averaging only 36.5% from 3 for his career.

Yeah I know haha

But in this scenario, he’s surrounded by elite 3 point shooters leaving the post free for Simmons to attack. If his free throws are an issue in the 4th quarter, White comes in and Bridges shifts up a position.

Defensively he is better than Brown, especially off-ball. A starting five of Porzingis, Tatum, Simmons, Bridges & Holiday would be the best defensive unit in the NBA by some distance.

Next season his contract is expiring, so he could be moved rather easily and if he’s retained, Simmons would be a guaranteed reduced contract.

The point is moot though, as it’s too much of a risky trade for the Celtics & the Nets wouldn’t move Bridges.
