The Boston Celtics are currently in the early stages of the NBA playoffs, but itâs never too early to start considering potential moves they might make this offseason.
Bleacher Report's Greg Swartz identified three potential trade assets that every team could consider moving this offseason, highlighting Jaylen Brown as one of the options the Celtics might explore this summer.
"An early playoff exit will undoubtedly have teams calling about both, and Boston should at least listen to offers given the season Brown is coming off of," Swartz wrote on Wednesday. "His stock is at an all-time high after averaging a career-best 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists, primarily as a No. 1 option while Jayson Tatum worked his way back to the court. He's still owed a whopping $183.1 million over the next three years (over $61 million per season)."
If the Celtics are serious about trading Brown, it makes sense to do so this offseason, as his value has never been higher after proving himself while Tatum missed most of the season.
Why would the Celtics even consider trading Brown unless heâs the one wanting out? Brown and Tatum have shown they can thrive together, reaching two NBA Finals and winning one. Both are currently in their prime, and they still have the potential to secure a few more titles together.
The Celtics could explore trading Jaylen Brown as part of potential moves identified by NBA analysts, including Greg Swartz.
Trading Jaylen Brown could significantly impact the Celtics' roster and their chances in future seasons, depending on the assets they receive in return.
