NBA Trade Deadline priority: Trade Jaylen Brown 

The Boston Celtics may not have admitted it yet, but it’s clear that the duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown has probably reached its ceiling. The Celtics are teetering around irrelevance in the Eastern Conference and that’s a big problem.

Boston needs to come to the realization that it’s not going to work with Tatum and Brown. They need to choose between the two – that’s likely going to be Tatum – and trade the other all-star. The return will be great and could angle the Celtics to sign another big-name in free agency.

The Celtics are not fooling anyone this season and need to make a move. They need to shake up the roster in an attempt to avoid mediocrity in the NBA.
