With Jayson Tatum ruled out of the 2025-26 season, Jaylen Brown could find himself stepping into a leading role for the Boston Celtics. The Georgia native has long been Boston's "1B" next to Tatum, leading fans to wonder what a team led by Brown could look like. Now, it would appear they're going to get their answer.

If Boston decides to break up its core this offseason, Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report proposed the Celtics trade Jaylen Brown to the Brooklyn Nets for Cam Thomas (sign and trade), Noah Clowney, the No. 8 pick in 2025, a 2027 first-round pick (via Philadelphia) and a 2032 first-round pick.
