Last night, the Milwaukee Bucks traded Giannis Antetokounmpo, which means the Boston Celtics are out of the running for the former MVP, and Jaylen Brown was not shipped to a third team to get the deal done. While the team has said that the only way they trade Brown is for Giannis, this process could have fractured the relationship between the player and team.
There is a chance that the Celtics could still try to move Brown for a massive haul. These are the top landing spots for Brown if Boston decides to trade him.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies are in a bit of a rebuild after seeing the current iteration of their team having already peaked. They could send a package of young players and draft picks, including Ja Morant, to Boston to help get this deal done.
Morant is infinitely talented, but things have clearly gone sideways in Memphis, both on and off the court. A fresh start could help reset his career and get him back on track as a superstar guard. This move could allow the Grizzlies to move on from the headache that Morant has been, and let the Celtics reload with a 26-year-old star, among other important pieces.
