Celtics to trade Lakers champion for Jaylen Brown for $261M

Given their storied rivalry, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers agreeing to a trade seems unlikely,

but Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley pitched a possible deal between the two teams that may benefit both.

Buckley went on to explain why the two legendary rivals would agree to such a trade involving their great players.

"It's possible that Brown, 26, will never achieve the level of stardom that Davis has already attained

hence the inclusion of Williams, a dominant defender with his own injury issues—but the former is younger and more durable,

"Those qualities may be important to the Lakers, who may require a sturdier foundation for their post-LeBron James era than Davis can provide."

Davis would also make an intriguing frontcourt tandem with Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, though surrendering Brown would hamper the Celtics' wing scoring.

Davis' contract with the Lakers was extended through 2028 and is worth $261 million, including a player option for the 2027-28 season.
