B/R trade proposal sees Blazers’ CJ McCollum landing with Boston Celtics – but is the price too high?

If there is anything close to as certain as the old proverb suggests death and taxes are, it is the inclusion of the Boston Celtics in recent years in trade proposals ahead of the league’s annual February moratorium on such deals.

And true to form, another popped up this week from the folks over at Bleacher Report, with analyst Dan Favale whipping up a mini-blockbuster that would change the face of the Celtics significantly without trading away either of their All-Star forwards in Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum. But the ask going back for this star wing might still be too rich for the blood of many fans, and for us as well despite bringing back the Portland Trail Blazers’ CJ McCollum.

Let’s take a look at the offer, and why we aren’t crazy about it despite the return.

Or is the St. Louis native young enough to carry such a heavy load? https://t.co/Cyc3e35qxa
