The NBA offseason has been quite the spectacle.

It’s been filled with a ton of changes, but arguably no team has changed more this summer than the Boston Celtics. The Celtics endured a ton of changes.

For starters, they lost four of their key players this offseason, including Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet, Jrue Holiday and most likely Al Horford. These moves were deemed necessary as the Celtics needed to get under the dreaded second apron in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The Celtics are finally under that threshold, but there is a possibility that a trade could still be on the radar. Who they could/would trade is another mystery.

This massive trade proposal sees the Celtics deal their $285 million star guard, Jaylen Brown, to their Eastern Conference foe, the Detroit Pistons.

Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report has the Celtics deal Brown to the Pistons for this massive haul.

“Trade Idea: Detroit Pistons acquire Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics for Ron Holland II, Jaden Ivey, Tobias Harris and a 2027 first-round pick (protected 1-4).”

“The Celtics get $7.7 million in 2025-26 salary savings—not enough to get them out of the tax this season, but every little bit helps. When Harris’ $26.6 million comes off the books after the season, Boston will be free and clear.

“Meanwhile, the Pistons add Brown to a core of Cunningham, Thompson and Jalen Duren. That group should be able to better last season’s No. 6 seed in the East while moving up Detroit’s timeline a bit. With Cunningham already an All-NBA player, the time to add high-end (and high-cost) talent is now.”

The Celtics get back three solid players in turn in this scenario, plus a first-round pick in the 2027 draft.

Brown has been a staple for the Celtics for the past nine seasons. He was one of the main reasons for their title in 2024, bringing home Finals MVP.

The 28-year-old has spent his entire career, but he could be getting too expensive for the C’s. Brown signed the most lucrative contract in the sport two summers ago, signing a five-year contract worth $304 million.

The deal includes a supermax extension and the money he will be owed will only raise throughout the years. This upcoming season, Brown will be owed $53 million. In the final year of the contract, Brown will be owed $64 million.

The Celtics love Brown, but with nagging injuries under his belt already, that contract could be one they want no business with down the line.
