Boston Celtics offer risks for Kevin Durant

The decision is made and they will go to the end. Brad Stevens is one of the great connoisseurs of the current squad of Boston Celtics and, as much as they reached the Finals last year, he still has serious doubts about the compatibility between Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart y Jayson Tatum. The latter is the star chosen to guide, in a non-negotiable way, the course of the Massachusetts team, but the other two players have been vital in the team’s aspirations in recent years. His defensive power, feeling of identity with the team and connection with the fans, have postponed the real intention of the management, which has been none other than to carry out a transfer. Every time a losing streak came, NBA rumors about his departure and now that Kevin Durant is within range, they are clear that they can be bargaining chips.

Everything indicates that Brooklyn Nets will accept the arrival of Smart, Brown, White and a first round Draft. Once that preference is established, he sounds like the Celtics will accept the departure of two defensive and spiritual champions. And it is that both Brown and Smart are men of the house, players apparently born to wear this shirt and who were decisive in the visceral reaction of the team in the middle of last season. Tatum is not a clear vocal leader and the departure of both players would cause them to lose tremendous defensive power. White’s departure would be attenuated with the arrival of a Brogdon who can play that role, and he would acquire a greater role in defense to try to supply the departure of the two players.

Smart and Brown are decisive in the chemistry of the team and the defense

At this point, the ideal would be for the transfer to be carried out since feeling in the media spotlight and seeing yourself as transferable is a very hard blow for Jaylen Brown. If the exchange were not made and the squad remained the same, the chemistry in the locker room would be very complicated, having seen two of the most important players in the squad how they negotiated for their departure. Thus, Stevens is at a dead end and will have to negotiate aggressively, not even ruling out that, instead of White or a Draft round, Robert Williams Also on the exchange. The requirements of Brooklyn Nets They make it clear that they want to compete.
