Celtics could acquire All-Stars DeRozan and Sabonis for Jaylen Brown

The Boston Celtics may explore a trade involving Jaylen Brown, sending him to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis, and three first-round picks. The proposal, put forth by Michael Pina of The Ringer, emphasizes the potential benefit for Boston in obtaining valuable draft assets and addressing their need for a versatile post player like Sabonis. DeRozan, whose contract is expiring, could offer immediate scoring help, while Sabonis has a history of solid performances but is coming off an injury-plagued season. The move would age the Celtics’ core, with Brown turning 30 in October and DeRozan approaching 37.
