Jaylen Brown for Bradley Beal

This might be the most equally fair trade so far on this list; as both teams have superstars that would probably be better suited in different situations. And this deal makes sense for both sides.

For the Boston Celtics, the duo of Brown and Jayson Tatum has probably run its course. They’re due for a roster shakeup. This deal would work as one. For the Washington Wizards, assuming they don’t want to rebuild from scratch, this move makes a ton of sense.

Brown has flashed as a No. 2 in Boston and it’ll be interesting to see if he can lead a team as a No. 1 option. He has all the tools to do so and is one of the best two-way players in the league. Plus, the Wizards have a pretty strong supporting cast.
