Reports have repeatedly indicated that the Boston Celtics could be interested in moving on from Jaylen Brown, though it remains very unlikely they'll do so. Until I see Brad Stevens make any move to send Brown to a different organization, I'm of the belief that the Celtics should and will keep him around.
However, there was a recent suggestion that he would be sent to the New Orleans Pelicans, one of the worst teams in the NBA.
The trade would definitely be a positive for Brown if he's looking to just be the lone star on the roster, depending on how people view Zion Williamson.
While the return would be fine for the Celtics, there's also reason to believe that Brown and Jayson Tatum staying together would be the better plan in the long term, as they've already proven they can reach the top of the basketball world and win a championship.
“Acquiring an All-NBA force like Jaylen Brown requires a massive financial and talent match, meaning the Pelicans would have to part with some of their most valuable assets. Sources close to the situation indicate that if New Orleans aggressively pursues the Celtics star, the blueprint for their blockbuster trade offer would center directly around Dejounte Murray, Trey Murphy III, and significant draft capital,” Brandon Robinson wrote.
I really like Trey Murphy as a player, and there's something to be said about Dejounte Murray and Tatum having a close connection.
However, I can't imagine a scenario in which either team would be willing to make this trade, as it really doesn't make much sense for either side.
