I think one thing that's important for teams to remember, especially the Boston Celtics with all of this Jaylen Brown trade chatter, is that just because a player doesn't get traded before draft night, it doesn't mean that these draft picks who were recently selected can't be traded.
Remember, we've seen that happen a good bit over the past few years, and there's certainly going to be more of it in the next few months and over the next couple of years.
With the possibility of Brown being traded, the Atlanta Hawks are the most likely suitor, and one CBS writer believes Atlanta has the most obvious trade package, which includes its first-round pick, Kingston Fleming.
“Of the players drafted on Tuesday, specifically, Kingston Flemings would figure to be the likeliest to move in a deal for Brown. Atlanta has been linked to Brown, and while the Celtics have Derrick White and Payton Pritchard are guards, they have no one with Flemings' speed.
“The Clippers are another team that has come up in the Brown rumor mill, and given their limited assets, Keaton Wagler would almost have to be in the trade if one came. Many of the other most commonly suggested Brown teams -- the Pelicans, the Blazers, the Rockets -- didn't make picks on Tuesday,” Sam Quinn wrote.
Fleming would be an intriguing player for the Celtics, though much, much more would still have to be traded in this scenario for Atlanta to add a player of his caliber. Brown is one of the top players in this league, and will go for a lot more than I think some people realize.
