Celtics swap Jaylen Brown for godfather offer from Atlanta Hawks in new B/R trade proposal

The author has an alternative proposal that is so sweet it would be hard to say no — but would the Hawks even offer it?

Given that star Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown happens to hail from the greater Atlanta, Georgia area, we understand why he is so often a focal point for fake trades to the Atlanta Hawks.

But we would think that by now analysts would take the Celtics organization at their word that they have no intention of trading the Marrietta native to another team any time soon. Still, the lingering effects of Boston’s uneven play makes the team — and Brown — constant fodder for trade proposal articles like a recent piece from Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes specifically created to focus on such unlikely-to-move-players.

Even the biggest fans of Brown on and off the court have to admit that there are packages the team ought to say yes to, even if it is unlikely the Celtics ever see such an offer in the short term future.
