After the Celtics were eliminated last night by the Miami Heat, it restarted the conversation as to whether it’s time for Brad Stevens to move Jaylen Brown.
Brown’s abysmal performance in this series stood out the most, especially since he had a chance to takeover Game 7 when Jayson Tatum sustained his ankle injury. Instead, Brown became a turnover machine when the team needed him most.
It’s never easy moving a star, and it seems even tougher with the hopes some had for Tatum and Brown as a duo, but how many more chances do they get? Especially after taking a step back with arguably a better roster.
Brown was also one of the most vocals players when it came to Ime Udoka’s firing for his cheating scandal. Would a player from the outside take to Joe Mazzulla’s coaching a bit better?
Let’s take a look at 6 players that could play a part in replacing Brown’s production moving forward.
