Boston Celtics Receive: James Harden, PJ Tucker
Houston Rockets Receive: Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Daniel Theis, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2023 1st Round Pick
The Boston Celtics have built a duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown through the NBA Draft. They would not be able to keep this deal together if they were interested in Houston Rockets superstar James Harden. Tatum is the future of the Celtics so it would be Brown on his way to Houston.
Along with Brown, players like Marcus Smart and Daniel Theis would be included in this particular trade proposal. The Rockets would also get two first-round picks to help them keep rebuilding their franchise.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this deal would benefit each side in the near future.
