    I've always thought Brown was overrated. Elite scorer, but terrible A/TO ratio and his defense is extremely overrated. Has he even guarded Jimmy at all?

    People love him because he's a great scorer on a winning team, but I don't view him as a top 15 player like some do. Top 30 yes.

    Would still love to have him on the Rockets but would not give up Green for him.

    So some posters in this thread want to sell the farm for a 2nd option/3rd option player on a contending team especially after watching his awful series against the Heat? No disrespect to the Heat players, but this All NBA player in Brown is struggling to score again Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson. Like you guys still want to build a team around him?

    Brown, would be the main one for which we could trade for !
    Four other additions would come for the Free Agent list
    Reaves, Hachimaura Harden and Mobley.
    From our Draft I would suggest Kris Murray as he is going to be a great player

    Rockets Trade Sengun, Porter, Tate, Nix Garuba
    Rockets discard Non contract players Agustin, Kaminsky, Days, Hudgins, & Boban Y

    Absolutely not. We would have to give up so many picks and youngsters it wouldn't make sense at all. Also stop lusting for everyone please people on Twitter were hyping up ****ing Ayton last month stop it man dude is softer than cotton.

    Yep. Im not including players outside of Tate and Garuba or Christopher but #4 and #20 are fine with me. Looks bad this series but is really one if the top 2 way players in the league. Young enough to still not quite be at his ceiling IMO.

    Why is this thread still going? It was over when he got all NBA. He's signing that extension and staying in Boston. It was never even a rumor to begin with, just a speculative segment on a podcast.

    I love a good buy low candidate. No shot im including green, jabari, eason or sengun tho. Everyone and everything else is available imo for Brown.

    #4, #20, 4 future bkn 1sts, tate, kj
    For Brown

    Think you could still have enough to puraure a max or near max player in FA.

    Harden
    Green
    Brown
    Jabari
    Alpi
    Kpj
    Tari
    Is a sick nucleus to grow in the future and get more competetive now. Even if you hate Harden you can replace with wiggins or whoever else may be possible to get in free agency.

    I don't think the Celtics will give up on Brown. He may not deserve the super max but the Celtics don't have many options available.

    'Robust Demand From A Lot Of Teams' If Celtics Were To Listen On Jaylen Brown Trade

    The Boston Celtics resisted the idea of trading Jaylen Brown during the 21-22 season when they were struggling before they turned around their season and ultimately reached The Finals under Ime Udoka.

    But there was at least some level of reported interest from the Celtics that next offseason in trading Brown in a package for Kevin Durant.

    With the Celtics possibly falling short of The Finals this season and Brown eligible for a supermax extension, the idea that they could consider trading him has been speculated about at least in the media. If the Celtics do make Brown available with one season remaining on his contract, there would likely be a lot of teams interested in gambling on their odds of extending or re-signing him.

    "There would be robust demand for Jaylen Brown from a lot of teams if Boston ever actually started making or listening or picking up the phone or whatever you do with your phone when you maybe investigate a trade," said Zach Lowe on his podcast between Games 3 and 4.

    Brown can only receive the supermax from the Celtics and would be ineligible to be traded for one season.

    We do not need to give up on our young talent, I honestly believe Jalen and Sengun will be STARS in this league. Jabari has a chance to be on the ALL DEFENSE TEAM AND DPOY. Amen can be multi ALL STAR when he establish a shot…..we need veterans

    Veterans: we need a tough guy, shooter and defense presence


    Grant Williams from Boston
    Seth Curry from Brooklyn
    Jaxson Hayes for New Orleans
