Celtics Dream Big: Brown to Kings for DeRozan, Sabonis, and Three First-Round Picks

The idea from The Ringer’s Michael Pina imagines the Boston Celtics trading Jaylen Brown to the Sacramento Kings for DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis and three first-round picks. The proposal would age Boston (Brown ~30 vs. DeRozan ~37) but add two former All-Stars and substantial draft capital, with DeRozan’s expiring contract and Sabonis’s injury-shortened 2025-26 season as key caveats. Sacramento would gain a dynamic wing, while Boston would land Sabonis’s interior scoring and playmaking, all while weighing payroll/tax implications and fit with surrounding pieces.
