Six Hypothetical Trades Reimagine the Celtics Around Jaylen Brown
With Brown at the center of ongoing trade rumors after Boston reportedly offered him for Giannis and the Bucks’ deal with Miami, this piece lays out six speculative deals to move Brown to Portland, Houston, Cleveland, Washington, Phoenix, or New Orleans.

The trades are purely hypothetical and not official.
