There have been a lot of rumors that are linking the Atlanta Hawks and Jaylen Brown. Specifically, NBA insider Marc Stein had this to say about the possibility of Atlanta acquiring Brown as part of a larger deal that sends Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Boston Celtics. "Does Atlanta or Portland want to be the third team that joins the party to acquire Jaylen Brown and help facilitate a trade that makes Antetokounmpo a Celtic? The closest thing to a certainty, as of publication time on this Sunday, is that we're nearing clarity."In my opinion, this would be the wrong move for Atlanta to make. The assets it would take to acquire Brown and the subsequent cap space that the Celtics' star would take up is not in line with what he might bring to the Hawks. With that being said, what are the alternatives for the Hawks?None of these players are individually on the level of Jaylen Brown. However, they might be able to get the Hawks towards a similar ceiling without sacrificing the same level of assets/cap space. If the Hawks want to go star hunting this offseason, there's a way to do it without being irresponsible. Here are some players that might fit into that.Isaiah Hartenstein - C, Oklahoma City ThunderFeb 28, 2025; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (55) in action against the Atlanta Hawks in the second quarter at State Farm Arena.
