Celtics Writer Proposes Shocking Jaylen Brown-For-Steph Curry Trade Idea originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Celtics face a significant decision this offseason regarding the potential trade of Jaylen Brown. Recently, Colin Kennedy from 98.5 The Sports Hub proposed an intriguing idea: acquiring Golden State Warriors star guard Steph Curry in exchange for Brown.
"This move is trending more towards fantasyland, but nonetheless, it’s another blockbuster move that makes some real sense," Kennedy wrote on Tuesday. "To start, the contracts are comparable, and a one-for-one swap is possible, but more pieces would likely be included. Just for fun, Al Horford is still with the Warriors with another year on his contract, and could once again be looking for another move to contend for a title.
"The Warriors seem to be at the end of their run with Curry, and with Steve Kerr still mulling whether or not he will return as the head coach, the greatest shooter of all time could be open to a move. Curry, of course, fits into Boston’s play style, and would provide an elite sniper for Tatum to play off of. He’s also proven to be able to play off of another superstar in the past, winning two titles with Kevin Durant."
The Celtics would get the better player in the short term, since Curry is still one of the best in the NBA, but he will be 39 next season.
Boston would be making a move to help it win the NBA title in the next two seasons, but not in the long term. If the Celtics are willing to give up Brown, who is in the middle of his prime, for a player who could be retired by 2029 to win now, then Curry heading to Boston could make sense.
