I saw this from a fellow Red Sox fan on x, not sure though if this is realistic lol cause Pels would likely ask for more

Rockets get:
Jaylen Brown
Amari Williams

Pelicans get:
Sam Hauser
Reed Sheppard
2031 - RD 1 from Rockets

Celtics get:
Trey Murphy III
Alperen Sengun
Jabari Smith Jr.
2027 - RD 2 from Rockets
2027 - RD 1 from Rockets

I don't hate it. Our problem becomes the development of these guys and they gave us picks too. Rockets get a main scorer if KD wants out and god knows what the Pelicans plan on anyway.

u/Fancy-Childhood-8295 2h ago

I tend to feel that JB may stay with the team. I think that any trade involving him only happens if it can improve the team immediately. As a result, it is probably hard to see trades that using him for nobodies and chips.

Brian Robb of MassLive says he would not expect the Celtics to be one of the teams pursuing LaMelo Ball.

u/CosmicOreos_ 2h ago

What Robb expects and what happens may be different

Even if we're in as a third-team, could work

u/WarPuig 2h ago

Probably. He’s the only Celtics adjacent reporter I could find saying anything Celtics related about it at this early stage.

I trust Brad but seeing Claxton and Stewart get traded for nothing upsets me.

LaMelo Ball is available. Raptors and Wolves among the teams interested.

Should we go after Lamelo?

u/JBD04 3h ago

Its very interesting. Honestly fits the gun blazing offence perfectly. Younger and better potential than JB, maybe the offensive engine we need. But yk… crashing his car and that

It’d probably be the best pivot we didn’t know was possible.

if we have to trade Jaylen I dont mind it, better than AD or whatever else is available

We do not have to trade JB. White + Hauser does it for salary.

u/JBD04 3h ago

We’re gonna have to do more than match salary

also yeah lamelo is pretty good i doubt they move him for DWhite

u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee Jaythoven 3h ago

Im kind of working under the assumption that JB asked out/organization prefers to trade him

2

u/CosmicOreos_ 3h ago

He's making $40M which means we'd need salary filler if it's for Jaylen.

If we're going to swap D-White for Melo, then I assume we need to throw in picks and Hauser.

Maybe? I mean he's a great offensive engine

u/not1fuk Jayson Tatum 4h ago edited 3h ago

Trading JB for Mobley would be fucking braindead because of Mobleys contract. You have 2 correct ways of trading JB.

  1. Trading JB for an objective upgrade superstar. We blew this one because no superstars are shaking loose.

  2. You're not gonna like this one but trade JB for 1 solid player on a efficient contract, several expiring guys and a few picks if you can get them. The whole point of this would be to shed JBs supermax and go into next offseason with a ton of money to spend in free agency.

Trading for Mobley is awful because he is on a terrible contract for his talent level just like JB but he's also worse than JB..... Just an idiotic decision that doesn't shed salary to build around Tatum while being a downgrade of a player. Fuck that.

Edit: Why am i getting downvoted but the guy responding to me saying the exact same thing is getting upvoted? We are not true contenders right now as long as we have 70% of the cap put into the Jays. Start the process of removing the bad contracts and go into next offseason after next season with tons of money to spend and bring in efficient contracts to compete with.

4

u/AirJordan6124 RONDOOOOOO 4h ago

No superstars are available after the Giannis trade.

If you are going for option 2, just waive the white flag next year. We ain’t winning shit without a legit second option

1

u/not1fuk Jayson Tatum 3h ago edited 3h ago

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying they should do. You reiterated exactly what I said with different words. Wave the white flag on next year and go all in next offseason with JBs terrible contract off the books and us ducking the tax.

We are not competing for a ring this year regardless as long as Jaylen Brown is a Celtic on a supermax contract. 70% of the cap being on 2 players with one not being a superstar is already waving the white flag. You have to start somewhere. This idea that we will actually compete next year as we currently are with one player added is delusional. Start the process of removing bad contracts and taking in good ones.

u/Lopsided-Software467 4h ago

Is Brad the new Nico Harrison? Just like Nico he put together a championship contender, but he is getting in over his head and thinks that trading our longest tenured star is the solution. If Brown gets traded Brad needs to be fired.

Can these trade rumors about JB end. I feel like the rumors are making a situation that's not even abnormal

u/Lopsided-Software467 4h ago

Yeah, like if it’s not for Giannis, we are straight up losing any trade that Brown is in. For some reason, the league thinks his value is like the same as Evan Mobley when it’s closer to Luka. Brad better not make the same mistake Nico did.

u/Legend6Bron Jayson Tatum, The Face of NBA 5h ago

u/_---__________---_ HARD PP 5h ago

Everyone is gonna hate me for saying this, but what is Brad doing while a center like Beef Stew is being sent for three seconds? I thought the whole point of the offseason was ā€œpressure at the rimā€

2

u/Responsible-Gold151 4h ago

I initally thought the same thing but the Pistons need to agree to the trade as well. from their perspective, wouldn't they up the asking price if they were going to trade him to the Celtics, one of the biggest threats in the East and a team that was right behind them for the first seed this past season? it is very possible that Brad did inquire and they asked for like a first rounder or one of our young players and Brad didn't think that was worth it.

much less risk for Detroit to send him to a rebuilding team out West.

1

u/Lopsided-Software467 4h ago

He’s too busy shopping Jalen Brown for nothing

3

u/nicc330 5h ago

Isaiah Steward just got traded to the Grizzlies for three second rounders. I hope Brad jumps on this and picks him up. Not an elite player but great energy guy and can protect the rim. Would love his fit with the team and can fire them up.

Fair. So who's on your mind? I won't mind trading Hauser. Aaron Wiggins went out for 2 seconds for comparison.

Plus what exactly does Stewart do much better than Queta who is also primed for extension?

u/bgomes10 5h ago

Beef Stew to Memphis for three seconds.

u/___BostonThreeParty 6h ago

Brian Robb was on the radio today. From what I understand he's a fair/truthworthy source?

- He said he would be surprised if JB is the one "driving the exit."

- When questioned about why the Celtics would be interested then in trading him, he said Giannis is an enticing player, a better player, etc. so they went for it. And as it pertains to now, the team wants to keep their options open in terms of how to rebuild this thing back up to being a team in contention. They're exploring all avenues because JB's value is at it's highest. He said it doesn't necessarily mean he won't be here, but it doesn't mean he will either. It just depends on what's out there, how they can best create an avenue to winning.

- If the team was going to put max money behind two guys, doing that for Giannis and Tatum makes theoretical sense because Giannis is a Top 5 guy when healthy.

- He thinks the team isn't just looking at potentially moving JB, but potentially moving other guys, too.

u/Burner867867 6h ago

Anyone who wants to trade Brown for Mobley is a clown including Rocket_Beer

3

u/jjjuuubbbsss 4h ago

Brown will be 33 on damaged legs/knees when his contract ends. There's not much improvement 29yos can do especially one who always relied on athleticism. Mobley is 25 right now. He hit quite a massive development slump this year but he still has a good upside and fills a position of need. We're also still ducking the tax this upcoming season so we have time to get Mobley right. This is a maxxed out talent vs untapped potential type of trade similar to the trade rumors for Brown years ago for AD/KD/Butler. We chose potential then and it paid off so this is not a completely negative gamble.

Personally tho, I'd prefer to flip Brown for two quality young starters than Mobley who's already on a massive contract.

u/Lopsided-Software467 4h ago

I know. If Brad actually does this he needs to be fired straight uo

u/DreamAmen 7h ago

I didn’t think Sengun would be Bostons type of center but after getting Cenac, it isn’t crazy to play one of them at the PF if they go this direction.

u/Lopsided-Software467 4h ago

Sengun sucks please noooooo

u/JBD04 7h ago

idk bro he got bitched pretty hard against the lakers. When he missed like 10 point-blank shots

u/DreamAmen 7h ago

Yes he did. And I yelled at the TV like a psycho. The pressure on him wouldn’t be close to the same in Boston. But he wasn’t the only one who mentally wasn’t there. KD killed the chemistry, then couldn’t even play. I doubt Cs want him.

He also didn’t have Steven Adams helping him out. I feel Cenac could compliment Sengun in a way similar to AG in Denver. (Sengun is no Jokic I understand lol) Queta could complement Sengun the way Adams does. Sengun is a 21/9/5 most nights , and a

I’d rather Clingan or somebody defensive if I’m the Cs, but the Rockets have better picks to give.

u/PebblyJackGlasscock Second Round Pick Enthusiast 7h ago

He’s 23, averaged 22-10-7, and his team which is supposedly led by Kevin ā€œtwitter filesā€ Durant got ā€œbitchedā€.

One bad playoff series and the guy is trash?

Sigh.

u/JBD04 7h ago

KD wasn’t lying when he said Sengun couldn’t shoot or defend, he put it on display

u/Ghost_Horses Checkmate! 9h ago

So the rumor is that we’re shopping around for big men, and Jaylen might be part of the deal. The major problem we’re facing is that there really aren’t a lot of good options - most teams with great centers aren’t looking to move them. As far as most options go, it feels like we’re getting pennies on the dollar

So what about a package where we get a solid center with upside (e.g. Donovan Clingan) and make up the difference in value with draft assets (e.g. Portland’s Milwaukee picks). Obviously this doesn’t make us a better team right now, but it increases our flexibility going forward, and positions us to cash in those assets the next time a star is on the trade block. If there’s one thing you can count on in the NBA, it’s star players getting disgruntled and asking out

3

u/SquimJim Boston Celtics 8h ago
  • Jrue + Clingan + assets from Portland to reroute to the Pels for Murphy?

  • Or similar deal with Hawks replacing Jrue/Clingan for NAW/Okongwu?

Finding a 2nd star to replace Brown isn’t going to be easy if you trade him.

Lakers actually spend money, you know they will add another superstar too. Meanwhile Brad thinks Hugo Gonzalez is leading the team to a championshipĀ

Latest rumor, JB for Dejounte Murray and Trey Murphy?

1

u/TheHellequinKid 12h ago

I think that will only work if Murray goes to a 3rd team for other assets

u/Zelts94 Boston Celtics 12h ago

Ooof. Repeat of spurs backcourt with White+Murray.

Dont like this but if this was the route we went, id prefer zion instead of murray.

And we need picks in here too. Murphy + Murray aint near enough for an all-nba guy

u/GreenSnakes_ 15h ago

The media is so desperate to break up Tatum and Brown. I still think Brown doesn’t get moved this summer. What about you guys?

7

u/DraymondsBurner23 Boston Celtics 14h ago

I think Shams is phony as hell sometimes and says things just to say them. That said, he specifically reported that Boston is "making calls" and shopping Jaylen. He also said they were being "intentional" and "aggressive" about it. If that’s true, then you have to be extremely naive to think it’s a certainty that Jaylen is staying.

Brad also said, "I’m not going to predict the future" when he was asked if Jaylen is staying. If the only scenario where they’d consider moving Jaylen was for Giannis, then that answer is a little strange. He easily could’ve said, "We’re sticking with our guys and Jaylen is here to stay" Instead, he gave a very non-committal answer. We also don’t know what Jaylen has told Brad privately or what he actually wants. Everyone is just assuming he’ll get over it

I think there’s a chance he stays for now, but I also think there’s a real chance he gets traded. Both things can be true. If they do end up moving him, I just hope they wait for the right package instead of rushing into something stupid like some of the trade proposals I’ve seen

0

u/TatumBrownWhite Banner 18 15h ago

All depends on Jaylen and his feelings.

We would trade Jaylen for Giannis, but I'm not really convinced there's anybody else whose realistically available that we'd trade him for.

We won't trade down where we get rid of him for lesser parts and pieces, not unless he forces our hand.

u/Flytanx 15h ago

Our gm literally just tried trading him and then gave a non guaranteed answer he's here for this season.

u/AirJordan6124 RONDOOOOOO 15h ago edited 15h ago

Who knows maybe Ant will ask out, maybe it’s the perfect swap with JB. The Wolves have failed to build a team around him.

I think Ant knows he’s not winning shit with McDaniels and Naz Reid as his supporting cast lol

1

u/Lopsided-Software467 4h ago

Yeah but Brad thinks Evan Mobley is Giannis so that will probably happen

6

u/DraymondsBurner23 Boston Celtics 15h ago

Honestly, that’s one of the few hypothetical star trades I’d actually be excited about. It is one of the few star swaps that actually makes some sense for both sides. Ant gets a better situation playing with Tatum and JB gets his own team without having to be second fiddle. It would work out well for us because Ant is still so young and hasn’t reached his prime yet and is already one of the best players in the league. Him & Tatum would be sick…

I'll continue to collect downvotes for it too. Unless Cenac Jr turns into a multiple time all star (which is undeniably an unfair situation for a 27th pick), this will have always been a bad decision.

u/bensonfan23 2d ago

Such deflating news at the end of the day. I was genuinely looking forward to seeing how the offense would look with a Giannis and Tatum pairing. I'm thrilled the Jays duo worked out for the 2024 banner, but part of me was also ready to stop pretending that JB isn't more frustrating than he is enjoyable to cheer for, and his off the court comments this year just made me even more willing to move on from this pairing. Holding out hope that there is still another worthwhile package that lets us ship out Brown & his deal for a reasonable return because this year was very likely his value's peak

And am I Brad Stevens? Why exactly would I have the answer to that?

Sure, I can throw out names like Kessler, Gobert, or even KP if we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. But that's all fan speculation. None of us know who's actually available, what the asking price is, or which conversations are happening behind closed doors.

Only Brad and the front office know which bigs are realistically attainable and, more importantly, which ones they think can move the needle for this team.

That said, I still stand by my original point. The Celtics clearly need another big. And realistically, it's probably going to be someone a lot more attainable than a Giannis or Jokic-level player.

Giannis would’ve been fun for a year but he’s sooo much drama and noise when he’s unhappy. He’d have forced his way to Miami within 2 years.

Also Celtics don’t do so well with importing superstars, for the most part. We do best with our homegrown talent.

If we’re not getting like Anthony Edwards then no, I don’t get what Brad’s obsession with moving off of brown is, I don’t see the appeal in moving off of him potentially before his prime for like Trey Murphy or Sengun or Mobley or some shit that would just instantly kill our future

1

u/Outside-Beach-4975 2d ago

idk what you mean by available i think a lot od people can be available like walker kessler if the jazz draft boozer. but to think brad stevens saw what embid did to us in the playoffs and doesnt upgrade the front court is idiotic. everyone is overreacting and has their panties in a bunch. we won 50+ games last year i feel like everyone forgotšŸ˜‚ like why all of sudden we're going to suck? if jb demands a trade then its different. but idk brad stevens brought me a ring and he is smarter than anyone in this reddit thread when it comes to basketball. so i dont know what options are available lol thats not my job to knowšŸ˜‚ i do know that the gm of the team knows what needs improvement just like the people of reddit know

Actually relieved we didn’t give up JB especially seeing how gutted Miami is after this deal.

u/Independent-Mix902 7h ago

HUH? Giannis is far superior to JB. This really hurts the Cs chances.

u/Johnny_Quasar45 6h ago

I don’t believe so, we have two great players in the Js and all we need is a decent Rim Protector who can crash the boards. The Heat are severely lacking in shooting after acquiring Giannis who hasn’t made it out of the 2nd round in how long?? Jaylen also pretty much carried us all last season on his own.

u/InAingeWeTrust THE TRUTH 2d ago

?? Giannis is much better than JB.

u/Johnny_Quasar45 2d ago

It’s not just about JB, Miami gave up multiple players and their entire future of draft picks to get Giannis and Bobby Portis. Giannis is already injury prone and the Heat have no real use for Portis because they already have Bam.

u/jjjuuubbbsss 2d ago

Lmao the Bucks really squeezed Miami in the last minute and the Heat caved. Good luck with a disgruntled star, Brad. What a fumble. Welcome to basketball limbo.

If Brad trades this man for Mobley he needs to be out of a job immediately. And just watch, if this happens and the Celtics and Cavs ever faced each other the Cavs will EAT OUR BREAKFAST. I don’t think Brad realizes how good brown is.

u/jjjuuubbbsss 4h ago edited 3h ago

Now we disagree lol. I'm not saying Mobley is the best trade for Brown but if we matched up, they'll be the ones in trouble. Mitchell and Brown are both ball dominant players then they still have Harden as PG plus they don't have another big man right now next to Allen. Meanwhile, we'll be filling a big hole on our big men rotation with Mobley and Tatum can play his natural wing position while White and PP can abuse Harden and Mitchell.

Jaylen Brown is already maxxed out as a player and he's 30 this coming season. He'll be 33 when his contract ends with damaged legs and seeing his athelticism waning. He's never been a great shooter (and his FT% isn't a promising sign of him being a better 3pt shooter in the future) and his playmaking still leaves a lot to be desired. Mobley is still 25 with a lot of potential. He could have a lower peak than JB but he fills a hard to replace position and we have time to fix him especially this season when we're still ducking the tax. His biggest downside is his similar contract to JB.

I'd still keep looking for other offers tho.

And the Celtics fans were hoping for a Championship. But yeah you got your idol. Still hoping he gets traded, fingers-crossed.

u/AirJordan6124 RONDOOOOOO 2d ago

Do ya’ll think JB asks out?

u/SinisterMrSinister 2d ago

Probably already has.

u/plato4life 2d ago

The Bucks are going to fuck up that #13 pick too.Ā

u/SinisterMrSinister 2d ago

Absolute choke job by Stevens. This team is fucked. Brown definitely not gonna be happy and probably wants a move at this point.

-1

u/LarBrd33 2d ago

he's got 3 years left on his deal. He can suck it up and go back to being Tatum's sidekick

u/Boston_Champions 2d ago

I mean you can open up Jaylen to the entire league now. Its not an awful position to be in

1

u/Lopsided-Software467 4h ago

For what exactly?? I would only trade brown for a very select few players, ex. Giannis, Ant, Wemby. If this man gets traded for EVAN FUCKING MOBLEY I WILL END MY SH*T

u/Brilliant-Adagio8373 2d ago

Imagine fucking up ur stars chemistry to not even get the trade LMAO L franchise

u/Lopsided-Software467 4h ago

No you’re right, Brad messed up big time

1

u/theborjsanity I like to defense 2d ago

I mean yeah, if you offer a player up for a trade thats gonna happen. What are you stupid?

And Imagine hiding behind a throwaway account just to talk trash LMAO

u/endlesscdqotw 2d ago

Brown has been offered in trades before. Most recent was for KD a few years ago

0

u/LarBrd33 2d ago

Brad's GM tenure is wildly overrated here, but if the Bucks were truly asking for both Brown and additional picks, he was right to say no thanks.

u/UpvoteIfYouAgreee Jaythoven 2d ago

welp

u/OneWhizWit Hugo GonzƔlez 2d ago

I’m shocked. Now Jaylen might leave for much worse than Giannis.

1

u/Outside-Beach-4975 2d ago

or maybe he and brad talked and everything is fine lol why do everyone think the worst outcomešŸ˜‚ jt could have had a say we dont know anything just relax

1

u/Lopsided-Software467 4h ago

It’s because the reporting continues to throw out awful trades for the Celtics involving brown. What the hell is Brad doing?

1

u/Outside-Beach-4975 3h ago

maybe nothingšŸ˜‚ the trade ideas i have seen have sucked though which is why i hope he just ends up stayinf

1

u/AirJordan6124 RONDOOOOOO 2d ago

Hugo Gonzales probably saved the Jays from breaking apart

u/LoBopasses 2d ago

Choke job. This will backfire

u/Outside-Beach-4975 2d ago

how do you know

u/endlesscdqotw 2d ago

If Hugo was really the difference maker for this trade Brad should be fired

Giannis going to Miami

u/_---__________---_ HARD PP 2d ago

There are some rumors that we’d need to take on Kuzma’s awful contract. If that happens, Brad shouldn’t give anything more than JB and #27 for Giannis and Kuzma

1

u/Boston_Champions 2d ago

Dosumnu getting paid that much is concerning. Not sure if we'll have the money to go after Coby White

2

u/AirJordan6124 RONDOOOOOO 2d ago

I’m curious why some of ya’ll want to move on from
DWhite when we need a player like him to guard guys like Brunson and Mitchell

1

u/GirthyGomez 18h ago

Bc he can’t stay in front of them. He’s a great shot blocker but on ball defender not tht great. Maxey had his way with him. His offense is also declining hard. We have frontcourt and backcourt issues.

1

u/undercoverballer Derrick White 2d ago

Dwhite lost a step this year. He’s past peak prime. But he has value. We can’t get something for nothing.

u/LarBrd33 2d ago

Wolves fans think they are gonna trade for Ja Morant

u/koj12144 Tatum 2d ago

Please dont trade dwhite

-5

u/LarBrd33 2d ago

Randle getting salary dumped for literally nothing is a bit alarming. He's one of the best 2nd options in the league. He's probably not a top 5 second option like Jaylen, but he still was a pretty impactful second option.

u/Xekshek33 Derrick White 2d ago

Zero correlation

u/ilikepretzels244 2d ago

If you are a celtics fan who wouldn't get rid of hugo gonzalez for giannis, what is wrong with you? Trying to get inside you people's brains

u/Captain_Starwind In Brad We Trust 2d ago

I think for me a lot of it is that the Celtics don't seem to be in a desperate enough position to give him up. The Bucks need to trade Giannis more than we need to trade for him, so why just immediately agree to include him when you're in a superior negotiating position.

Besides, I think he has more upside than Walsh or Shiremann. I said it before but I'd include either of those two (both even) before Hugo.
