It was not so long ago that Boston Celtics fans found themselves ensnared in trade rumors regarding Portland Trail Blazers All-Star point guard Damian Lillard, with fans debating on whether it would make sense to deal All-Star forward Jaylen Brown for the Blazers floor general, with the general consensus seeming to be that the cost of the Portland player’s contract simply being too steep to take on.
Now, just a day after reporting surfaced that Lillard had previously expressed interest in playing with Brown comes a trade proposal from ESPN that would see such a scenario play out — except that Dame would join Jaylen in Boston.
And yes, All-Star forward Jayson Tatum would still be on the team as well.
Don’t get too excited, though — there’s nothing in the works that we know of. https://t.co/gbFFYZ8a8u
