If the Celtics subtract a major piece, it feels like Brown could be the odd-man out. Porziņģis is too injury-prone to have much trade value, Holiday and Derrick White feel worth more to the Celtics than they'd be as trade chips and Jayson Tatum has long been Boston's best player. Brown, meanwhile, hasn't even begun to collect his five-year, $286.2 million extension, per Spotrac.

Brown is the superior two-way talent, but Booker boasts a deeper offensive bag. Since perimeter players like Holiday and White do their best work defensively, that's a trade-off the Celtics could reasonably consider.
