Yahoo sports : 6 offers the C's would accept for JB

[rondohondo]

Sacramento kings

After another losing season in 2025-26, the Sacramento Kings want to shake up their roster. That is why it would not be surprising if they reached out to the Celtics with an offer of three-time All-Star Domantas Sabonis, bench ace Malik Monk, and a couple of first-round picks.

Sabonis would give Boston the top-shelf big man they have been looking for, another nice bench piece, and two future first-rounders to find players that may one day replace Tatum and Sabonis.

Cleveland cavs

Mobley feels like a great fit in coach Joe Mazzulla's system. If a veteran like Dennis Schroder, and future first-round picks and swaps were added, that is a deal the Celtics would seriously consider

Portland trailblazers

The Portland Trail Blazers were reportedly a part of the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes and are high on Brown. If they offered a trade package of Shaedon Sharpe, Jerami Grant, Donovan Clingan, and two first-round picks, that might be the best offer Boston gets because the return would help them in the short and long-term.

Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets have also been linked to a potential Brown trade to pair him up with future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant. In any deal, the Celtics would want talented young forward Alperen Sengun in return. Fred VanVleet would also need to be added to make the money side of it work, even though he is coming off a torn ACL

.

New Orleans

Reports have suggested that the New Orleans Pelicans have listened to offers on talented forward Trey Murphy III, and the Celtics are fans. A package of Murphy, Herb Jones, Kevon Looney, and three first-round picks would intrigue the Celtics. However, of the various offers, it would not be the best.

SAS

If San Antonio were willing to offer Fox, 2026 Sixth Man of the Year Keldon Johnson, first-round pick Jayden Quaintance, and two first-round swaps, Boston would definitely consider it. It gives them a talented scorer to playoff of Tatum. An elite bench player. A next generation of Robert Williams to develop to man the middle, and a chance at premium draft spots in the future.

Definitely don't want san Antonio deal, could work with the other trade scenarios....

Murphy, Jones and three firsts?  Get it done.

The New Orleans, Portland and Cleveland ones are all ones I would say yes to. Mobley and picks is hard to say no to. I do not think some of those trades are even close value wise though. For example Spurs is not close to the Pelicans in my opinion but if those were all on the table absolutely I would be happy with some.

Yeah, that?s a no-brainer for us. But they?re not offering that much.

Murphy, Jones and three firsts?  Get it done.

That proposal does not quite work with salaries, but this one does:

Murphy
Jones
Hawkins
Missi
FRPs

The fun thing is we can absorb Murphy through the Simons trade exception, Jones through the MLE, Hawkins through the Niang exception, and Missi through the Holiday exception, creating a brand new $57.1 million TPE for Jaylen.

I don't want SAS's package after what we all just witnessed in the Finals. Ain't no way Fox is worth JB. And Keldon Johnson should never see another NBA minute again.

I would've been more entertained in Sabonis if this was like 2023 or 2024 Sabonis.

Blazers got some picks but their players aren't too flashy enough.

Do we really wanna make another Eastern Conference rival better that would get in Boston's way with Cleveland's package? I'd probably think about it if they throw in Mitchell with Mobley. But we'd probably have to give up another core piece.

NOLA's package seems most enticing. Houston, while Sengun is great, I'd like more than just him and FVV.

Replying to myself, but in this idea, the Celtics could then turn around and trade Jones and Hawkins to Memphis, and be able to fit Ja Morant in under the tax.

So Pelicans get Jaylen

Memphis gets Jones and Hawkins

Celtics get Morant, Murphy, Missi, and picks.

I have Mike Zarren's email address somewhere.  I'm going to tell him to go start working on this.
