Boston Celtics: The only 3 players worth trading Jaylen Brown for

Player worth trading Jaylen Brown for No. 3) James Harden

Last, but certainly not least, we see James Harden as one of the only players the Boston Celtics could consider trading Jaylen Brown for.

Heck, with rumors rumbling of trouble in paradise between “The Beard” and the Houston Rockets, this idea may not actually be as far-fetched as some may have previously thought. In fact, even recently ESPN came out with a statement saying that if Harden requested a trade, the shamrocks could prove to have one of the best return packages for him.

As we all are well aware, the 30-year-old is one of the only true superstars in the league today. This short-list includes the likes of LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant (when healthy), Stephen Curry (when healthy), Anthony Davis, and Harden.

That’s it!

With this in mind, if the Cs see an opportunity to bring on such a player, they should inquire about his availability, no?

The 8x All-Star, 7x All-NBA selection, and 2017-18 league MVP is coming off yet another fantastic campaign, as he put up unbelievable averages of 34.3 points, 7.5 assists, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game on 44 percent shooting from the floor and 36 percent shooting from deep.

Adding him to this Cs team that was a mere two games away from reaching this year’s NBA Finals would be absolutely menacing. Bring on the fact that in a scenario where they could also package together Kemba Walker’s deal — fear of injury woes continue to ramp up — and perhaps they could get sound role-players such as Robert Covington and P.J. Tucker back in return alongside Harden.

It’s a stretch to trade Brown for the former MVP, and not recommended as far as the Houdini’s concerned, but a player like Harden will obviously require a large haul in return and, for what it’s worth, teams tend to love acquiring all the star power they possibly can.

If the Boston Celtics were interested in trading for the man’s services, a player like Jaylen Brown would need to be the “meat” of any sort of exchange.

To bring this full circle, we do NOT want Brown to be dealt. That said, these 3 players are likely the only ones that Boston would consider targeting in such a trade.
