Boston Celtics Receive: G Kyle Lowry, G Tyler Herro, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2027 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2028 First-Round Pick (Swap – MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: G/F Jaylen Brown
It’s hard to avoid Kevin Durant’s name here. Realistically, his shadow looms over this entire article.
After all, both of these teams have been frequently linked to the star forward. The Celtics and Heat are among the top teams to be suggested as landing spots for him.
That doesn’t mean either is a realistic one. The Celtics are. If they’re willing to move Jaylen Brown with the right amount of draft capital, they could get a deal done. On the other hand, the Heat probably can’t.
If they could trade Bam Adebayo to the Nets, it might be different. They can’t. The Nets roster Ben Simmons. Meanwhile, a rule in the CBA disallows teams from trading for a player on a max rookie extension if they already have a player on such a deal.
