While the rumbles of a potential trade of Boston Celtics star wing Jaylen Brown to the Brooklyn Nets for veteran superstar swingman Kevin Durant appear to have stalled if they ever even had any traction to speak of in the first place, the debate continues on with seemingly few supporters coming out of the woodwork suggesting such a deal would make sense for Boston.
With Brown playing as the Celtics’ best player in the 2022 NAB Finals at just 22 years old with a relatively solid injury history and a seeming connection to the city of the team that drafted him and with much popularity with that team’s fans, to risk it all for a player with a concerningly advanced age and injury history has increasingly come under scrutiny.
“Why would a Boston team that was two wins away from winning it all trade away two key components of its roster? Is Durant too enticing to pass up if you are the Celtics?” asked Marks.
