Sabonis to Celtics Idea

[Ilikesports17]

Sabonis might be a reasonable target. But it would almost certainly have to be based on Brown.

Im low on Sabonis, but the reason Im low on him is hes horrible at defense and has struggled mightily in the playoffs. Its possible this is because of the Kings more than him and if you brought him in to a better environment and pair him with Tatum who hopefully is much better than anyone hes played with before maybe he hits another level.

This would make some sense as Tatum/Brown is somewhat redundant and we have no bigs. So the swap kinda makes sense. You get a cheaper player who is less reliant on explosive athleticism as he ages who evens out your roster and might even be better than Brown in the first place.

But ultimately I simply dont buy it with Sabonis.

Tatum-Brown-Sabonis probably isn't feasible money wise. And if its a question of Sabonis or Brown i'd rather have Brown.

I'm not the biggest fan of Sabonis. i think he's a very good player, but more of a floor raiser than a ceiling raiser due to the things he doesn't do. if he's on your team i think its hard to win at the highest level.

 He's way better than the scrubs we have. Dont forget he's an amazing passer something the Jays have never had. Especially at the big position.

 The challenge is finding another big to weak side shot block and stretch the floor.

Never should let money get in the way of winning .

Horford is one of the best passing big men of the past couple of generations.

 Very good passing big man. Maxed out at 5.2 apg. Sabonis for example is an excellent passing big man at 8.2 apg maxed our. And don't forget Jokic far better passer than both player's.

To be fair, Horford maxed out his assist numbers before the league went three point crazy.  I feel like assist numbers (especially from bigs) are highly inflated now days because of all the kick-outs to three point shooters.

I'd do Simons, Hauser, and a bunch of 1st's for Sabonis (it will require way more than 2), but I think that is likely way too expensive so White or Brown would probably have to realistically go out.  So if they'd swap Simons for White (and maybe 2 less 1st), I'd probably do that.  For team balance it may make more sense to trade Brown.  I'm not sure he'd make sense there, but a 3rd team could work. 

Maybe something like this

Boston - Sabonis, Sochan, SAS/ATL 26 1st
San Antonio - Brown
Sacramento - Castle, Olynyk, Castle, SAS/BOS 28 1st

So Boston picks up a starting center and power forward for Brown (along with a 1st), Sacramento shaves a ton of salary while picking up the ROY and a future 1st, and San Antonio goes for it adding Brown to Wemby, Fox, Harper, Bryant, Vassell, Johnson, Kornet.
