Should the Celtics Really Trade Jaylen Brown for This?

from Hold My Banner Hosted by NESN

Would you trade your Finals MVP for Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac, and a pile of picks? We open the show with a wild mock trade from Sports Illustrated that sends Jaylen Brown to Orlando. Is this the right time for Boston to make a move, or should they hold off until Tatum is back? We break down what the deal could mean for the Celtics’ identity, financial future, and long-term ceiling. Then, CBS Sports ranked Al Horford’s 2016 signing as the 17th-best free agent move of the century. Is it really that high? We look at Horford’s impact on the Tatum-Brown era and whether he’s the most important free agent in Celtics history. Later, we preview the Utah Jazz. Did they get enough value in the Sexton and Collins trades? Is Ace Bailey the right pick to lead the rebuild? And what should fans expect from this young core in 2025–26? We wrap with the Portland Trail Blazers. Was moving Anfernee Simons for Jrue Holiday the right call? Can Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe take the leap, or is this team still stuck in development mode? Tune in for all that and more on Hold My Banner with George Balekji and Ountae Campbell.
