Which Young Player Are The Cs Most Likely To Trade?

[flybono]

Anyone on the Roster

[ssspence]

Gotta start looking at duplication especially on the bench, so the most logical trade candidates are Rozier, Smart, and Brown.

I don't follow this -- please explain.

Do you mean specifically in a casspi trade?  Cuz someone of his level probably gets moved for a pick and filler.   If you are asking which young player in general is most likely to be traded, multiple publications still list jaylen brown as one of the 10 most likely trade candidates in the whole league.  This based on the idea that Boston will swing for a star at some point this season and Jaylen will more than likely be included in any trade package for hypothetical star.

I'm talking about hypothetical for a "star" or really any high level player.

I disagree with the poster who said he thinks Ainge would trade Smart before Crowder. I don't think that's true.

Also, can you share some examples of where this Brown speculation has been published? Thanks.

Here's a couple off the top of my head from the two biggest and most notable online sports publications:


Fox Sports ("9 NBA Players Most Likely Traded in 2016"):  http://www.foxsports.com/nba/gallery/9-nba-players-most-likely-to-be-traded-during-the-2016-17-season-101016

The Celtics might have something special in Jaylen Brown, the player they selected with the third overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. But that doesn't mean he's untouchable.

While the idea of dealing Brown is somewhat of a longshot, the Celtics are in win-now mode after landing Al Horford in free agency this summer. If Boston believed it could add another superstar in trade to bolster the team's chances of contending for a title, all the upside in the world wouldn't prevent the Celtics from dealing young talent.

ESPN ("NBA Players Most Likely Traded This Season"):  http://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/17718304/nba-players-most-likely-traded-season-eastern-conference

The Celtics are the team that's most often involved in trade rumors, and it's easy to see why: They have a large number of assets, young players on great deals and the rights to two future Nets picks, and Danny Ainge has shown the ability to flip assets for a star, as he did when he made the deal for Kevin Garnett.

So if a superstar demands a trade or a team decides to reboot, the Celtics will be there to offer what's probably the most enticing package.

It's hard to imagine that this package would not contain the Celtics' youngest player, the third pick in the 2016 draft, Jaylen Brown. Trade partners probably aren't looking to get merely solid players back, but would rather receive a high-risk, high-reward player in return. Brown, who will turn 20 in October and was one of the most athletic players in the draft, certainly fits that bill.

Like I said... multiple publications listed Jaylen as one of the most likely players in the entire league most likely to be traded.

I think that says more about where the Celtics are versus how good JB will be. The Celtics are a legit star away from contending. Jaylen Brown might not hit his peak for another 6 years.

[alewilliam789]

So JB is the most likely to get traded off rumors? No. I would say if things start to go south or we look to dump contracts I say Bradley, Young, or Olynyk.

You just quoted two people. One said:

"While the idea of dealing Brown is somewhat of a longshot"

The other said:

"It's hard to imagine that this package would not contain the Celtics' youngest player, the third pick in the 2016 draft, Jaylen Brown. "

Both people are saying that Brown would be traded pretty much only as a condition that the player coming back is a superstar. Of course you trade him for a superstar to win now but your quotes translating into "Jaylen is the most likely player in the league to be traded" is beyond me. I can't see how anyone could come to that conclusion given those quotes. Why? Because superstars getting traded are a rare thing in this league and the Celtics trading for a superstar is even more remote.

You haven't liked Brown from day one. You have said multiple times you hope he turns into something great but that caveat is there to protect you from being wrong because if he is great, you said he might become great and if he does not become great you said he wouldn't because you only see him as a role player. Please, stop with the "Jaylen Brown is most likely player in the league to be traded" crap because you don't like him. Your premise simply isn't true.

OK, thanks.

Personally? I doubt this. Highest pick Ainge has ever made. Highly cerebral, intelligent prospect... and a high risk choice the pundits didn't agree with whose shown strong early signs. Amazing potential as a defender. High ceiling.

This dude screams Danny Ainge. Don't see him giving up on Brown early. I believe He'd rather flip a veteran at the peak of their value -- like Crowder, or maybe even Bradley -- before trading Brown.

In talking about a trade for WCS I think there is possibly leverage to be used on the Kings if we take Rudy Gay  in the deal. Then a combo of picks and maybe rozier or smart, zeller and young will work. Then we let them keep Caspi.

I dont think anyone the kings have except cousins will get ainge to part with Jalen.

Gotta start looking at duplication especially on the bench, so the most logical trade candidates are Rozier, Smart, and Brown.

I don't follow this -- please explain.

Those players are duplicative of a starter and on the bench, so they would be the most likely trade candidates i.e. Rozier is a bigger crappier version of Thomas, Smart is lesser version of Bradley, and Brown is a lesser version of Crowder.  They are all younger and thus have upside potential which gives them more value than a typical bench player would have, especially Brown.  Thus, those would be the three most likely trade candidates for a trade this year.
