The Atlanta trade I proposed was Okongwu, NAW, Risacher, and 7 for Brown and 27. Draft Flemings at 7.
The Houston trade I proposed was Sengun, Sheppard, DFS for Brown, Garza, Scheierman.
A few others that i think make sense but are a bit more out of left field
Kawhi for Brown
Murray, Valanciunas for Brown, Garza
Randle, McDaniels for Brown
Miller, Bridges, Mann for Brown
Thompson, Holland, Stewart, Robinson for Brown, Scheierman, Garza
Siakam, Walker for Brown
Varying types of trades, but I think they do all make sense depending on what Boston is trying to do and for the team acquiring Brown.
I know you have mentioned that Hawks one but that is maybe my least favorite out of all of these. I personally think the Celtics are in win now mode and should be. Tatum is not young anymore. That Hawks trade feels like a roll of the dice for the long term but no doubt worse in the short term. Risacher could not get playoff minutes on the Hawks and I do not think has potential left really unfortunately. Okongwu and NAW are solid players but they are depth pieces. It all comes down to is that 7th pick an all star. The problem is even if whoever we pick is an all star that likely does not happen immediately and we just cannot be wasting the prime years of Tatum.
I am kind of surprised you want that trade the most since I feel you really understand and push how much star talent matters and there is no doubt we are trading the best player in that deal. All the others are no doubt interesting and I am not as opposed to trading Brown now as I was a few years ago. TP for all the other potential suggestions!
I think NAW is a lot better than a depth piece. He averaged 20.8 plg with a TS% of 61%. He just needed minutes and a real chance, which he got in Atlanta.
