Jaylen Brown

The Boston Celtics have emerged as one of the top threats in the Eastern Conference, with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown forming an intriguing one-two punch. Would they break that up?

If the Celtics could get into the mix for Bradley Beal, the long-time close friend of Jayson Tatum, would their calculus change? A “Big 3” of Tatum, Beal, and Davis could be the potential trio to build around in the future.

The Los Angeles Lakers would benefit from the possibility of adding the defensive impact and all-around offensive game of Jaylen Brown alongside LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.

If the Lakers deployed Lebron James at the five with Westbrook and Brown in the backcourt, the spacing would be pretty intriguing, given Brown’s explosiveness would be maximized.
