Stop me if you've heard this before: The Boston Celtics must seriously consider trading Jaylen Brown. It's been a topic of conversation throughout Brown's career, as outsiders have long questioned whether or not he and Jayson Tatum can coexist.
A championship, two NBA Finals appearances, and six Conference Finals trips later, the question persists, albeit in a different form: Is trading Brown the best path to supplementing Tatum?
It's a relatively blasphemous question when one considers how Brown and Tatum have dominated the Eastern Conference. The dynamic has changed, however, with Tatum suffering an Achilles injury during the 2025 NBA Playoffs and the new governorship group blowing the roster up.
