Bill Simmons proposes wild Celtics-Rockets trade centered on Jaylen Brown

Changes will be coming for the Boston Celtics this offseason.

Not only will Boston have to grapple with the real possibility that Jayson Tatum could miss most of — if not the entire — 2025-26 season while recovering from a ruptured Achilles’ tendon, but Boston also needs to shed significant salary this summer in order to alleviate the team’s incoming luxury-tax penalties.

And while most trade scenarios centered around the Celtics this summer have revolved around high-priced supporting players like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, longtime basketball writer Bill Simmons tossed out a radical, blockbuster deal on Sunday night that would send Celtics star Jaylen Brown to the Houston Rockets.
