Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Celtics fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The big name in any Celtics trade rumor right now is Jaylen Brown’s. After a career year and another All-NBA season, he’s been linked in a deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo and his max contact could also be broken up into more manageable pieces if the front office decides to priority
depth.
However, Boston could package other players together in order to land a big fish. In an unexpected 56-win season, young players like Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez, Jordan Walsh, and Ron Harper Jr. proved that they could be contributors to a winning team.
When Danny Ainge made the move to get Kevin Garnett back in 2007, Rajon Rondo was a redline in negotiations with the Timberwolves. A young RR and Kendrick Perkins would later join the Big Three in the starting lineup and raise Banner 17 the following summer.
So, if you’re Brad Stevens and looking to reshape the roster, who are you not including in a trade? The everyman in Scheierman that can do a little bit of everything? How about Walsh and his A-plus defense a la Tony Allen? Did Gonzalez show enough in his rookie season to make him untouchable?
