Boston Celtics Receive: Devin Booker
Phoenix Suns Receive: Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Romeo Langford, 2020 1st Round Pick (No. 14 Pick), 2022 1st Round Pick
We said this deal would not come cheap. It would require the Celtics to give up Brown, who is one of their top players. Smart has improved overtime and Langford is a prospect that Boston feels good about.
The Celtics have three 1st round picks in the 2020 NBA Draft, so parting ways with one will not hurt. This will come down to the proven players they are willing to give up and it doesn’t get much better than Brown and Smart as far as a potential trade is concerned.
This seems like a deal that would benefit both the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns. Let’s break it down further and see how it would benefit each side.
