James Stewart, a Boston media figure, suggested a trade sending Jaylen Brown to the Atlanta Hawks for Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. The proposal comes as speculation grows around Brown's future with the Celtics, especially if a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo does not materialize. Brown, an Atlanta native, is viewed as a top player in the NBA at 30 years old, while Johnson, coming off his first All-Star season at 24, is considered a rising star. The feasible financials of the deal suggest the Celtics could save $8 million, but the Hawks may be reluctant to part with Johnson. Further developments in trade discussions could follow this proposal.
