If the Celtics want to rebuild while Tatum is down this would be a decent return for Brown. I'd like to trade Holiday and keep White if I was the Celtics.

I get it, but to me if it's Holiday, then White's portion of the draft assets disappear and one would need to go in the opposite direction.

Probably trying to trade Holiday with Brown would cut back the return they're gonna get for him. So I might just prefer to take White out of the deal and keep both Holiday and White in Boston.

If the Celtics want to trade brown and rebuild they might want to move Holiday first if there is any kind of trade they can make to move him for less money and not have to pay too much in terms of assets to do it. They're 2025 salary cap/Tax Hit is gonna be terrible.

Thinking of this again in light of the Celtics recent moves and Shams comments last night. https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/280936/Celtics-Listening-To-Trade-Offers-On-Jaylen-Brown-Derrick-White

Would the Suns do Allen for Martin + 21? Get an FRP and shave $7.7MM from their payroll this season. That would give the Jazz decent depth at every position.

White, Collier
Allen, Sensabaugh, Juzang
Brown, Hauser, Williams
Markannen, Hendricks
Kessler, Filipowski[/quote]

Based on his contract, I don’t think it takes all of those picks. I would do #5 and one premium pick.

For Brown and White? No, you've got to give to get.

I think if I'm moving that much draft capital I want a better player than Brown back as the headliner. Otherwise I'd rather roll the dice on draft picks.

I just don't think a team built around Lauri and Brown has championship upside, and we'd be locked into that roster pretty hard.

Those 2 are great if you have your #1. But, if you don't I don't like the direction. In my mind you need to land that #1 piece before you do a deal like this.

Good feedback. As I've acknowledged previously, I'm much higher on Brown than the consensus seems to be.
