Boston Celtics Receive: G Spencer Dinwiddie, F Dorrian Finney-Smith, 2025 First-Round Pick (DAL), 2027 First-Round Pick (DAL), 2029 First-Round Pick (DAL)
Dallas Mavericks Receive: G/F Jaylen Brown
Here’s a question – should Jaylen Brown feel upset to have been included in an offer for Kevin Durant?
On the one hand, this is Kevin Durant we’re talking about here. This is, roughly, one of the 15 or so best players in the history of the NBA.
The Celtics would have no shot of landing him without offering one of Brown or Tatum. If anything, Brown could take his inclusion in the proposal as a complement.
On the other hand, the Celtics are fresh off of an NBA Finals appearance. Furthermore, Brown looked like, arguably, the best player on their team during that same Finals run.

In either event, Brown was, allegedly, included in an offer for Kevin Durant. His Twitter activity suggests that he may not be pleased about the fact either.
Now, the Celtics may be in a position where they’d benefit from trading an unhappy player. Are the Mavericks offering them enough here?
