Bill Simmons Floats 4-Player NBA Trade Sending Jaylen Brown for Jamal Murray

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Jun 29

Summary

  • Bill Simmons proposed Boston send Jaylen Brown and Sam Hauser to Denver for Jamal Murray and Cameron Johnson, framing it as an offseason shake-up for two recent champions.
  • Brown has emerged as a trade candidate after Boston reportedly offered him and two first-round picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo before Milwaukee sent Giannis to Miami.
  • Denver also faces pressure to rework its roster after a first-round exit, and Simmons said moving Murray could make the Nuggets bigger, deeper and under the tax.
  • Both Brown and Murray have spent 10 seasons with their current teams, making the swap a potential reset for franchises that flamed out early in the playoffs.
