Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics aren’t among the leaders in young talent anymore, but they do still employ one of the most promising forwards in the league who has been rumored to be available at various points throughout the past few years in Jaylen Brown.
If the lesser Jay was truly on the trading block, there aren’t many teams that could conjure up a better asset than him. Still only 25 years old, Brown just came off a scorching hot postseason in which he outshined Jayson Tatum on numerous nights to help lead the Boston Celtics to their first Finals appearance since 2010.
Having averaged 23.1 points on 47 percent shooting and 37 percent marks from beyond the arc these past playoffs, Brown has cemented himself as one of the best young two-way players in the entire league.
Boston is also eligible to trade away nearly all of their future first-round picks. They also have Grant Williams and Robert Williams III up their sleeves as additional young players they could include in a KD trade.
