Let’s take a step back and dissect this so that people in the future don’t fall into the same trap.
The Celtics are competing for a title this season. How does trading Brown for a pick make the team better? You’d have to either imagine that he’s worse than a random person we’d sign, or we aren’t in win now mode. Besides, if the going rate for him is a top lotto pick, why not use his salary to trade for Davis and have then flip him themselves? Nothing about this makes any sense.
All trade proposals must make the Celtics better *this year*.
