Jaylen Brown for Austin Reaves?

trade proposal sends Jaylen Brown to the Lakers for Reaves, Hachimura, one first-round pick, and two second-round picks.


Should Celtics do it? I know Lakers would do it.

Hell no the Celtics should not do that. And Brad Stevens would laugh Pelinka off the phone.

This is a fantasy land trade that Boston would never make

God, Boston would become unathletic even with adding Hachimura. That would be funny if they did it. I'd laugh.

Horrific trade for the Celtics. Thankfully not everyone thinks like Nico and will send their stars to the lakers for peanuts.

If this fantasy happens the lakers should double whatever extension Pelinka got recently, money and years

LA is now that guy in your fantasy football league who spams terrible trade offers in the hopes that someone eventually accepts one. It worked with the Luka trade so might as well try again.

Jaylen Brown is like a top 50-ish player making top 10 money. This isn't bad value for him.

The media gets so annoyed when the Lakers aren't mentioned for more than an hour, so they put out stuff like this.

Browns contract. Celtics ceiling is limited as a result.

To get off one of the worst contracts in the league?

That Finals MVP has you all dazzled. Dude's not that good.

That would be a terrible trade for the Lakers. Reaves is younger and making like 14 mil. Brown is making 50+ mil a year for next 4 years and hasn't made All NBA since the 22-23 season.

That proposal is lopsided in favor of the Lakers, just like the Luka trade was. I would have serious concerns about the NBA if the Lakers were able to get Jaylen Brown for a package centered around Austin Reaves.

idk, pairing him with a PG like Luka would make a world of difference

Man these rando nba media folks have been dragging the Lakers 'Reaves package' put for clicks for 3-4 years now. Reaves, Rui, Vincent for [insert name].

It was Trae, Dejounte, Fox, Lillard, and pretty much whoever is conceivably available. Now Jaylen Brown. I
Next it'll be Scottie Barnes, probably Herro, Ball, who else?

They are still missing like 20mill in salary to get the trade through
