Boston Celtics Receive: G Dejounte Murray, F DeAndre Hunter, 2028 First-Round Pick (Swap – ATL) 

Atlanta Hawks Receive: G/F Jaylen Brown 

Meanwhile, the Celtics may have to make a difficult decision about Brown soon as well. 

You may be asking yourself a simple question: why? This team has a mostly young core. They’re serious NBA championship contenders for the second year in a row. Shouldn’t they try to keep this group together at all costs? 

Of course. The operative word is “try”. Soon enough, the Celtics may not have a choice. Brown is due to hit unrestricted free agency after next season. 

Could he leave the Celtics? We don’t know. Hopefully, the Celtics have some intel on where he stands.

If they think they might lose Brown, they could entertain trading him to ensure they got something in return. 

Would this be enough?
