Love it for the Rockets. Not sure about Boston, the value seems fine but having to absorb FVV with such an expensive roster, don't know if they'd do it.

Boston declines

Look at it in 2 parts

Brown as a premier 2 way wing has more value than Sabonis who is tough to build around and has struggled in the playoffs.

Then you have Hauser, Queta, a 2nd, and a swap for Derozan who nobody wants and doesn't have any value.

10 Sep 2025 22:34:57
I really like this for the Celtics. Hornets and Hawks do pretty good as well.

Not sure Utah accepts this package; those firsts are mediocre.

Daniel Gafford - Dwight Powell

06 Sep 2025 01:38:38
This is pretty balanced. The iffy one is Toronto; not sure they'd trade all that for Derrick White.

06 Sep 2025 03:30:54
Toronto could be a darkhorse in the east. They have star power and Those 3 players they're getting are established vets with great playoff and finals experience. Quickley and Barrett has been doing what in their careers so far.

11 Sep 2025 16:24:20
No thanks. Toronto needs to see what they have. And sliding barrett off the bench would be the best way to go with a defensive player at the 2 guard spot. raptors dont need to rush winning this year. Alot of teams got better and raptors haven't even seen what BI can do with Barnes let's wait and see. Or you upgrade the og position by trading away IQ and one of dixk or Walter with some picks.

07 Aug 2025 19:57:18
I like this for Miami.

08 Aug 2025 10:34:38
I like this for both teams.

06 Aug 2025 19:59:36
Denver - Boston

Denver
- Jaylen Brown
- 7 1st round picks

Boston
- Nikola Jokic

07 Aug 2025 14:20:51
I counter with Hauser, Simons, Pritchard, Walsh, and 13 first round picks.

08 Aug 2025 18:13:02
Denver counter with “well offer you Murray and every first we can for Tatum next year when he’s healthy again”.

05 Aug 2025 02:52:49
Cavs get: Isaiah Hartenstein, Cason Wallace, Ousmane Dieng, 3 1sts ('26 Jazz, '27 Nuggets and '28 Mavs swap) and 3 2nds ('28 Jazz, '28 Bucks and '29 Celtics)
Thunder gets: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Mobley needs to get more touches. We get a great package for Mitchell.
Thunder gets a superstar who fits great next to SGA.

Kings add Kuminga via s&t

Ellis

Kuminga

Post

31 Jul 2025 10:29:50
Why would Boston do this?
Simmons is an expiring contract, Derozan is on the books for two more years. Derozan is a good fit in Boston, but he's 36, 37 when Tatum's back.

Maybe if you replace Simmons for white and extra assets in return

boston: Derozan+ 1rnd pick spurs 27 (top 14 protected) and Minny 31
Sac: Kuminga+ 1rnd pick GS 26
GS: D White.

31 Jul 2025 11:44:28
Zero interest from boston.

27 Jul 2025 00:16:22
Golden State Warriors: Anfernee Simons

Boston Celtics: Jonathan Kuminga

27 Jul 2025 02:24:23
Not legal without multiple other moves first.

21 Jul 2025 15:07:34
Sac- derrick white, nick richards, oneale, 2 bos 1st
Bos- sabonis
Phx- hauser, ellis + 2nd from kings

White
Lavine
Derozan
Murray
Richards

Pritchard
Simons
Brown
Tatum
Sabonis

Ellis
Booker
Green
Brooks
Williams

28 Jul 2025 04:44:31
I doubt the Celtics would trade White straight up for Sabonis, let alone White, Hauser and 2 firsts.

19 Jul 2025 08:33:56
Sac-Bos-Cle

Sac get Jarrett Allen, Deandre Hunter & 1st from Cavs & pick swap from Boston
- improve their defense

Ellis/Carter
Lavine/Monk
Derozan/
Murray/Hunter
Allen/Lyles

Bos get Domantas Sabonis
- get a new partner for Tatum

Pritchard
White
Hauser
Niang/Tatum
Sabonis

Cle get Jaylen Brown
- gets a co star for Mitchell who can play both sides

Garland
Mitchell
Brown
Mobley
Wade

Add picks or low salaries to even the money and value even more

19 Jul 2025 18:47:17
Brown is worth more than Sabonis. This makes no sense at all. Terrible trade.

19 Jul 2025 23:40:15
Brown and Sabonis are about equal value, in my opinion.

20 Jul 2025 10:43:22
2 way wings are the most valuable player types in the league right now. Sabonis has lost value due to playoff performance and the fact that he's tough to build around. However, I like Sabonis with Tatum.

15 Jul 2025 10:10:23
Timberwolves-Celtics

Timberwolves
- Jaylen Brown
- Sam Hauser
- Xavier Tillman

Celtics
- Rudy Gobert
- Jaden McDaniels

Timberwolves

Dillingham-Conley
Edwards-Divincenzo
Brown-Hauser
Randle-Beringer
Reid-Tillman

Celtics

Simons-Pritchard
White-Shierman
McDaniels-Gonzales
Niang-Tatum
Gobert-Garza

19 Jul 2025 18:48:54
Even though both teams would probably say no, I think it’s a fair trade. Would never happen, but fair nonetheless.

14 Jul 2025 14:30:20
Cavs-Kings-Celtics

Cavs
- Jaylen Brown
- Trey Lyles
- Keon Ellis

Kings
- Darius Garland
- Max Strus

Celtics
- Jarrett Allen
- Demar Derozan
- Devin Carter
- 2 1st round picks Sacramento
- 1st round pick swap via Cleveland
- 2nd round pick Cleveland


The Cavs get a winner added to Mitchell and Mobley would be dangerous especially in the open east

Ball/Ellis
Mitchell/Merrill
Brown/Hunter
Wade/Nance Jr
Mobley/Lyles

The Kings get their point guard

Garland/Schroder
Lavine/Monk
Strus/Jones
Murray/Saric
Sabonis/Eubanks

The Celtics get an all star center and a vet scorer + add more assets to get ready for a huge haul soon

Simons/Pritchard
White/Hauser/Carter
Derozan/Sheirmann/Gonzales
Niang/Walsh/Tatum
Allen/Tillman/Garza

14 Jul 2025 17:49:41
celtic fan proposal?

14 Jul 2025 19:10:31
I like Jaylen Brown, but I wouldn't give up both Garland and Allen. Maybe one of them.

15 Jul 2025 10:05:13
So Cavs fans dont want Jaylen Brown and want to keep their losers intact.

10 Jul 2025 10:31:27
Boston - San Antonio - Toronto

Boston receive RJ Barrett, Harrison Barnes (exp), 3 1st round picks from San Antonio + pick swap Toronto

San Antonio receive Jaylen Brown

Toronto receive Devin Vassell

I know this isn't the best we can get for JB but i'll take it. Consolidate assets and gear up for 2027 free agency and push hard to get Giannis.

Toronto gets a 2 way backcourt who is signed for a reasonable deal

Spurs are now ready to compete plus they keep their young core

13 Jul 2025 23:30:04
It’s hard to believe a Celtics fan would propose this trade. You sure you’re not a Spurs or Raptors fan?

05 Aug 2025 16:50:36
I would rather keep barrett for now. I like the raptors roster and trading barrett for Devin dosent move the needle for us we need. Giannis type of player to make any kind of real moves. For now keep the roster the way it is and grow a winning team again.

09 Jul 2025 18:49:24
Boston Celtics: Alex Caruso, 1º RP, 2º RP

Oklahoma City Thunder: Derrick White

09 Jul 2025 19:30:36
Doesnt make sense for both.

08 Jul 2025 15:57:49
Boston - Phx - Chicago

Boston get Nikola Vucevic (exp), Ryan Dunn, Dillon Brooks & 3 1sts from Phoenix
- Boston sign Dame Lillard
- tank the season, make Vooch and Brooks tradeable by deadline
- Propose a big deal to Milwaukee next summer for Giannis and bring in a big 3 of Giannis Tatum and Dame
- Ryan Dunn is a good asset too

Pritchard
White
Dunn
Brooks
Vucevic

Phx get Jaylen Brown & Patrick Williams
- with Booker's extension, there's no way they are going for a rebuild, bring him some help in Jaylen Brown and they could be a darkhorse in the west

Beal (or FA)
Booker
Brown
P.Williams
M.Williams

Chicago get Jalen Green & Nick Richards
- gets a young gunner to go with Giddey and White

Giddey
White
Green
Buzelis
Richards

09 Jul 2025 12:23:27
Boston says no. Outside of 2032 every remaining pick the suns have left all have swap rifts with another team so in taking the least favorable pick Boston is looking at all late 1st rounders they can easily find a better deal elsewhere.

06 Jul 2025 15:16:47
Orl-Bos

Orl - Hauser

Bos - Bitadze

Orlando adds another 3 point gunner
Boston gets a cheap big man

06 Jul 2025 22:03:43
Nice trade.

07 Jul 2025 10:59:04
I know from the outside it appears to be a solid trade, but it's not a move Boston will make.

01 Jul 2025 20:46:38
The Bucks traded away Jrue Holiday for Dame Lillard, Jrue won another title before them, now they are waiving Dame to free up space to get Turner. Turner is a great fit but waiving Dame just like that while having around 14.5% of dead money on their cap space for several years is not the best decision for a franchise. Now watch out for Giannis to request a trade unless they are really in a serious contention mode as the season starts.

Meanwhile, several teams would be more than happy to sign Lillard and let him heal on their facilities.

Miami - obvious one
LA Clippers - home
Portland - the return
Celtics - let him and Tatum heal and compete in 2027
Minnesota - needing a point guard, they can afford to rest him up now and still win a lot of games
Phoenix - can use an allstar guard alongside Booker
Others: Kings, Warriors, Rockets
