 Simoms, Hauser, Prichard gets you to 45 million. Serious draft capital needed as well. If young agrees to pick up his player option to Play with Tatum, Brown,  and White the following season.

 Would you consider this trade? I've always felt like Tatum and Brown need an elite passer and although Traes defence is bad,  have to admit he's one of the best passers in the World.

 He could really take the offense to another level, and obviously fits right end shooting the three point ball with lots of volume.

Tatum
Brown
White
Young

 We are one big man away from title town.

I think we would have to gut all future picks and financially flexibility to even have a shot.

Also I'm not a Trae guy. For as great of a passer and shooter he is, its possible he is an even worse defender. There is an argument to be made that a rolling chair could realistically have a larger impact on whether his man makes a shot or not.

 Take a look at his passing highlights here.

 Also. Someone created an AI version of tray Young in a celtics uniform in trey young liked it online. So it's official he's coming lol.

 Also, we still have derrick white so you can bench him when you want and put a defensive team out there.

Queta
Boucher
Tatum
Brown
White

 If Trey avgs 25 ppg and 10 apg with Tatum at 28ppg and Brown 24 ppg we can deal with one weak defender.  Because Tatum,  Brown, White, Boucher are all really good to great on defense.

Small guards are a huge liability in the postseason. He will be targeted mercilessly. Brad wants players that can switch. Young is a terrible defender.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Boston should expend assets on a position of need, not a position of strength. If they expend the assets it should be for a big man, not another small player. 

Trae is the modern Iverson, but with much worse defense (and it isn't like Iverson was a good defender).  He can work in the right system and as the focal point, but he wouldn't work on Boston.

So as I said above. NO.
