Wouldn’t this make the Celtics a little worse overall, particularly on the defensive end?

Lmfao

Why would Boston do this? I hate Boston but this is a giant downgrade for them and I don’t even like JB.

People just sayin shit to say shit

This is why executives get fired

As a Laker fan I love this for both teams. Please do it.

Brad Stevens was very evident in his press conference that the Celtics need to improve their rim pressure and shot quality. He also clearly said that they don’t have the personnel to do that right now.

I would not be shocked if Jaylen is traded. I would absolutely be shocked if Jamal Murray was the guy he gets traded for, Murray does not solve any of the Celtics issues at all and actually brings new ones

Boston is gonna have to get some other assets in return if theyre giving up Brown in that scenario.

Dawg, what?

Wow. Surprised that people on here are this high on Jaylen and this low on Murray.

I can’t tell if people are over valuing JB or under valuing Murray.

Murray is a dude that is coming off a career year averaging 25-4-7 in significantly higher efficiency than Brown.

Yes, JB is the better defender but it’s not like he is some all-defense type of beast that will absolutely shut down other wings and guards.

Boston we’ll give you Suggs to pair with White

The Bald Bros. Hell of a ring to it

Brown would help their defense but who’s going to be the point guard?

Can’t always have Jokic bringing the ball up

Finally something stupid that isn’t connected to the Lakers offseason plans “according to a source.”

Only the lakers would just assume they can get a star while paying nothing.

Why on earth would we trade Brown for Jamal Murray lmao

Lmfao, why the hell would the celtics ever do this.

nuggets would make it out like bandits lol

Better than that bum Jamal Murray for sure.

Eeeww. I’d point and laugh if the Celtics did this.

Brad ain’t dumb though.

I’m sure nuggets would be thrilled to dump that contract lol

Both teams lose with this trade. We’ve seen seasons where Jokic was the main ball handler without Murray due to injury, that shit makes the big slav tired as hell. Sure JB can handle the ball but not better than Murray, not by a long shot. Don’t the Celtics love White? Why would they bring in a new dude that overlaps with him. Idk I just don’t see this working at all, on or off paper.

Murray for Brown? Please. If the Nuggets are serious they would have to give up a real team leader like Christian Braun.

Brown & Murray have some of the same inherent problems with how they play offense. The Nuggets probably think that a wing like Brown can fill the roles of both Murray & Gordon. And Brown is a much better defender than Murray. Pay 1 guy instead of 2.

Doubt that the Celtics are interested.

Would be a terrible trade straight up imo

If he doesn’t like not being the #1 option, imagine how he’d feel playing beside the Joker lol.

As a Celtics fan, this is a MAJOR downgrade. Hed compliment Tatum well, but the Celtics are a small team already, we need size, not scoring.

Kill me if we trade for Jaylen

An Eastern Conference resident believes Jaylen Brown is the “perfect fit” alongside Jalen Johnson. “He’d be back home in Atlanta give them more fire, which they need. Boston would get back Zacchari Risacherbut he could fit there, meet his #1 pick potential

Why tf would the Celtics ever do this

i mean, sure. But why in gods green earth would the celtics trade brown for murray and a bunch of scraps?

Apparently this is the unpopular opinion here, but if I’m Denver I’m not doing this trade. I’m not losing Jamal Murray for Jaylen Brown. Jamal is a liability defensively and has trouble against taller defenders but has done extremely well when paired with the right backcourt pairing.

Celtics fans love JB for what he has done over the years(as they should), but this past year their team was as good with him in the lineup as without him. He was just the guy taking the most shots for them this year.

No thanks. Giannis or nothing

Imma tell you right now….fuck no.

He would be a good fit on a lot of teams and there are cheaper options that would fit better.

that defense would be horrific

Makes both teams worse. Jaylen might be better but Jamal’s two man with Jokic is pretty good

Jamal Murray on the Celtics makes literally no sense

Nope 👎 x100000000

I see this to a degree (they could really use some athleticism), but I also wonder how Denver would then address their giant PG gap. They really only have like 2 guys who can bring the ball up the court and initiate offense and one of them is Murray.

Brown isn’t completely inept, but I wouldn’t really trust him to reliably get Denver into their offense and set things up for others, which ends up putting A LOT on Jokic’s shoulders. And they have pretty much no way to add point guard talent because they have zero picks and have no cap space.

Yuck

Surprised he has access to Vivek 

Does the western conference executive work for the Denver nuggets?

Sweet so we take on more money and don’t have a starting PG

JB with nuggets fans. Truly a mind numbing experience

Start changing the name from Western Conference to All Star Conference, why not jokic to Celtics?

At what point is this just Bostons new ownership group testing the breakup rumors for profitability when they do it.

The only way they are trading Brown is if they are getting back a player thats better than him. The odds of that happening are really low

Don’t know why Boston would agree to this, but for the Nuggets - fuck yes.

I’ll go against the popular opinion and say it would be a pretty good trade for Boston depending on the surrounding pieces, the Celtics have a big shot creation problem with how bad White was this year at making shots and Brown isn’t as efficient nor is that good at playmaking which is what the Celtics need.

Yes let’s have Brown take a back seat to a dominant white player. The content will be great.

This would be an awful trade for the celtics, but hear me out: Jokic for Tatum swap.

Boston is fine they just need health and a front court that can play at a somewhat nba level and have Tatum healthy. Vuc is a fine piece off the bench but all they needed was a slightly above average rim protector

They trynna take Brad Stevens’ candy like he’s Nico Harrison cmon now

I don’t hate it

Lose-lose scenario.

I don’t know about you but Jamal shoots better than Jaylen in the Garden.

Would the celtics just get jamal murray and nothing else? Seems like a pretty bad deal

U can argue that JB is a top 5 wing; you can’t make that argument for murray as a pg

No plz. I like Jamal Murray. But no plz

This could make both teams worse lol

Personally I actually love the fit of Jokic alongside Tatum, White and Queta.

I don’t think so

Guys you’ve got it all wrong. This means Boston is going to trade Tatum for Jokic!

Horrible trade for Boston. Do it.

Jamal Murraybutt

Yall literally do this every single offseason. Think about that.

Not sure why the Celtics would want that lol.

That Denver exec funny.

This makes sense to me, the nuggets would need to find a couple of good ball handlers though.

Jokic is such a good passer he could always get the ball to Brown’s right hand

Redditors keep telling me Murray is really good so this should be fantastic for Boston.

I’d rather slam my dick in a freezer door

You’d have to attach a first or two for it to make sense for boston

Jaylen Brown seems like a terrible fit with Jokic.

That western conference exec? Believe it or not, a Denver nugget

I also wouldn’t put my name on that statement.

JB WOULD be a fit with Joker. Trade JT to Denver for Joker lol.

Nah

No thanks on Jamal

I won’t fear the Nuggets

Nooooo!!

No wonder they didn’t want to be named.😂

Boston would never do this.

If we traded Jaylen Brown for Jamal Murray I’d find the nearest bridge

Thats like 2 titanic exchanging deck chairs.

Jamal Murray is no where near the player Jaylen is.

Murray has made ONE all star team and ZERO all nba teams, while playing along side a multi MVP winner. The trade value is not even close.

I have been sad for a while now, needed a good laugh

Jalen Brown doesn’t want this. He clearly has indicated that he believes he is the alpha and should have his own team. If the rumors of him being annoyed playing second fiddle to Tatum are true, then he’s going to despise being in Jokic’s shadow

An interesting decision

This would surely solve Boston’s big man need.

What a crackpot exec. Probably works for the kings of some shit

This thread is hilarious. a bunch of people who would love it if they traded Brown going “why tf would Brad do this?”

The Joker would personally pack Murray’s bags if he gets JB in return lmao.

JB is a perfect fit to almost all the other teams in the NBA. He’s a 2 way player ffs.

Ah shit here we go again

Western conf exec… from Denver

[deleted]

Yet again another parallel to the Bucks. This would be like the Dame trade

This feels like the Luka AD trade with the Celtics playing the part of Dallas.

I’d do that deal 10 out of 10 times if I am Denver and zero times if I am Boston.

These journalists are smooth brain to the core. It’s the same playbook every fucking time. So and so is disgruntled with the head office… there were disagreements about his role on the team… it’s like they have to generate this negative energy out of thin air all the time.

makes no sense for celtics. JB carried them this season and been on the race for mvp.

As a quasi Nuggets fan: yes please!

Murray disappears in the playoffs way too often where Brown has proven a reliable presence.

And as a Celtics fan as much as I love Brown I’ve always felt Tatum was the guy there but I’d love to see Jaylin play a more central role (elsewhere) and the C’s would still have a competitive roster with a true facilitator to boost Tate to the next level.

As long as Boston gets someone/something else in return (Valenciunas(sp?)+picks) I’m down.

Both teams would still be one other move away from a championship roster imo but maybe the extra assets from Denver allows Boston to pursue Giannis?

A Tatum/Giannis/Murray/White/Pritchard starting five would be nasty.

Only Nico would pull that trade for Murray. Nobody wants that bum.

Hasn’t JB made some hints in the past that he wouldn’t play 2nd fiddle to a white guy

Since all advanced stats say the Celtics are better off without Brown and his defense is massively overrated , this should be a no brainer trade for them right ?

WHY would we do this lol.

It’d be better to do a 3 teamer…put Jamal in Milwaukee, Giannis to Boston, and Jaylen to Denver if that’s the goal.

If not then this is a horrendous trade.
