Would it make sense for Boston to either gut their roster or to trade star forward Jaylen Brown in his prime to make such a deal work?

Despite the Celtics resting All-Star Jayson Tatum due to an ankle injury, Boston delivered a commanding performance, defeating the Suns 132-102. Kristaps Porzingis led the charge for the Celtics with 30 points and eight rebounds, while Jaylen Brown contributed 24 points.

However, another late-season surge (Phoenix are winners of five of six) has convinced some within the basketball world that the correct path forward is to retain Kevin Durant alongside franchise player Devin Booker.
