New Bleacher Report trade proposal sees Lillard on the Boston Celtics WITHOUT giving up Jaylen Brown

It’s about as far-fetched an idea as we’ve seen that might conceivably work…but probably won’t.

Boston Celtics fans with their eye wandering towards Portland, Oregon will love a new trade suggestion that would bring back Trail Blazers superstar guard Damian Lillard in a deal that would not require parting ways with All-Star forwards Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown — or even rising center Robert Williams III.

If it sounds implausible, that’s because it is, at least for the moment. The proposed blockbuster put together hypothetically by the staff of Bleacher Report in a new article highlighting some potential mega-deals teams around the league could make has a few serious obstacles to taking place in the shorter-term future.

In time, however, it might not be an absurd proposition — perhaps even one Portland might consider.
