I'm not convinced it's Giannis or nothing.  I still believe Houston is Lurking....

I've seen this idea around a couple places:

Celtics receive: Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr., Clint Capela and a future first-round pick
Rockets receive: Jaylen Brown

Udoka does love Jaylen. I wouldn't hate that tbh, especially if you can use the MLE to just sign another big man out there (Timelord, KP, Mamu).

Thompson is the prize there but I sneaky love Jabari Smith and his attitude/toughness, it's something this team could use. Also, it would make more sense since the C's typically operate in silence, and the Giannis stuff feels like there's an update every hour which is a bit odd and is probably other teams leaking.

Last year, we would have been laughed out the door with that offer. But with Jaylen's purported rise and with the Rockets flaming out, this is another sell high buy low proposal. People were talking Smith and Sengun or Sengun and Sheppard, but I would gladly taken Amen over anybody on that Rockets roster. And yes, I do understand his shortcomings in shooting the 3

The Rockets in theory would have an awesome Top-4 of FVV-Durant-Jaylen-Sengun with some solid role players still remaining (Adams, Eason, DFS, Sheppard, Tate).

The Giannis stuff feels dead to me. It does seem the Timberwolves and Pelicans are emerging as real trade partners though according to a lot of tweets and reporting today. Jaylen Brown or Derrick White involved, guys like Naz Reid, Randle, Trey Murphy as options in a framework.

I?m not a fan of Randle. Hope Brad steers clear of him.

I just listed him as an option or part of a framework if say it's a 3-team deal. Yeah I'd only be interested in Reid or Murphy III
