Former Celtics Forward Thinks Trading Jaylen Brown For Giannis Antetokounmpo Is Right Move originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
A Giannis Antetokounmpo trade could be on the horizon, and there are plenty of rumors of the Boston Celtics trying to acquire the two-time MVP.
If the Celtics were to acquire Antetokounmpo, they would seemingly have to move on from Jaylen Brown to make the salaries work. They could deal him to the Milwaukee Bucks, move him in a separate trade or send him to a third team in a three-team deal. Regardless, splitting up the duo of Brown and Jayson Tatum could be risky.
While Antetokounmpo is a great player, Brown and Tatum have proven they can work together and compete for championships. Fans may be split on whether trading Brown for Antetokounmpo is actually the right move, but former Celtics forward Marcus Morris thinks it is the right move.
"I think Jaylen Brown needs his own team," Morris said on "First Take" on Thursday. "I think it's about time. I love the combination of him and Jayson Tatum. I was there. I watched him grow up. I played two years with him. I think it's time that Jaylen Brown goes and gets his own team, and establishes himself as a superstar and gets to the role that he wants to be in. I think this is a great trade for both teams because Giannis and Tatum are complementary of each other."
Brown was named All-NBA Second-Team for the second time in his career last season. He played most of the season without Tatum and set a new career high in points per game. He is extension eligible, and after a first-round exit in the NBA Playoffs, Brad Stevens may be open to making a big change.
