Ranking star guards the Celtics could trade Jaylen Brown for this offseason
By Tyler Watts
2. Zach LaVine
LaVine has been in the rumors for years, but will the Bulls trade him? It appears Chicago is motivated to contend as they plan on bringing back Nikola Vucevic in free agency. The Bulls finished ninth in the Eastern Conference last season, and they must shake things up if they want to improve.
LaVine is a two-time All-Star and a proven elite scorer as he has averaged over 23 points per game for five straight years. LaVine is also a career 38.4 percent 3-point shooter and a skilled ball-handler and playmaker. There are questions about his defense and ability to win at the highest level, but there is no doubting his talent. He is a star, and the 28-year-old is in the middle of his prime.
Would Boston entertain trading Jaylen Brown for Zach LaVine? They should not unless Chicago is offering significantly more in the package. Brown is the superior defender and rebounder that averaged more points per game last season. It would be a downgrade for the Celtics and is only worth considering if Brown attempts to force his way out.
Is there a star guard that the Boston Celtics should trade Jaylen Brown for this summer? There are a handful across the league, but only one is likely to be available.
