Both the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks have been struggling to live up to expectations this NBA season.
The Celtics are currently in the mix for a play-in spott, and the Hawks are fighting to get in that mix. While that’s all well and good, fans expected each of them to be bonafide playoff teams.
The Celtics have struggled to close out games. A lot of people have brought up the idea of trading Jaylen Brown. While Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the team isn’t interested in splitting up their All-Star duo of Jayson Tatum and Brown, the idea will always resurface when the team struggles.
Meanwhile, Trae Young has been putting up incredible numbers for the Hawks this year. Unfortunately, disappointing seasons from Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari have slowed them down. Combine that with a fairly poor defense, and Atlanta is not in an ideal position this season.

So, while the Celtics are unlikely to trade Brown, the Hawks would definitely be a team to look at if they changed their mind. Pairing Young with an elite two-way wing would be an ideal fit in the eye of Atlanta.
If the Hawks were to make an offer for Jaylen Brown what would it look like? Why would the Boston Celtics be interested in the potential deal? How could it benefit both teams?
