The only scenario I could come up with to get Jaylen Brown that's remotely realistic with matching salaries would be Butler and Taj for Horford and Brown. I'd also want to get the Memphis pick as part of the deal as well. Why would Boston do this? Because Butler is a big upgrade over Brown for winning now and Boston is currently a title contender. Taj isn't as good as Horford, but he would be solid. And again, getting Butler also enhances Boston's chances of keeping Kyrie next summer. Butler, Tatum, Hayward, Kyrie, Taj and Smart would be a heck of a core for Boston. And they'd still have the Kings first round pick as well as their own first rounder next summer.
Lip, I know this is all speculation at this point as nobody knows what the market is going to look like for Butler at this stage. But with that said there is zero chance Ainge deals for butler, especially isn't giving up any valuable draft assists. Heyward's Health is arguably better then Butler's when you figure in his age. Ainge knows better, Ainge is smart enough to know signing Butler to a 200 million deal is absolutely dumb, him and Kyrie both signed to 200 million deals would be catastrophic. We won't get Alexander from the Clips or Knox from the Knicks.
T Wolves receive - Tobias Harris, Patrick Beverley, DeMarre Carrol and future 1st round pick (top 10 protected from LAC).
Nets receive - Jeff Teague
Good deal for the Wolves, but doesn't seem realistic to me because I don't see the Nets doing that deal. Also, the Clippers traded their 2019 first rounder, so the best we could do would be the Clippers 2021 pick.
Ainge and the Celtics are in the perfect position to wait out the warriors, and win at a high level at the same time. What in the last 4 years gives you any indication that Ainge is going to trade young, cheap, high upside players to get older more expensive players??
The most likely deal right now will be Mo Williams, T. Harris and some protected pick.

A starting SF that plays grit and grind and a back up C for Gasol.
Wolves get Parsons, Jackson, and a future first.
Wolves get someone to play SF (that can play when healthy), get the future PF to play behind TAJ, and a pick. We get some salary because of Chandler, but we also unload Diengs deal.

Why do the Nets want Teague?
Because Teague is a good player.....
Teague is just an average starting point guard and he's overpaid and old. Agewise and capwise, he's a poor fit for a young Nets roster.

Teague is a good player. They already have 2 PGs in Dinwiddie and Russell plus Lavert is a guy that can do some playmaking. All these guys can playoff the ball but Teague makes no sense.
Personally I think Russell is an interesting guy to take a chance on (I think he could be a SG). The Nets have a pick from the Nuggets they could add. That might not be a great pick but it's still a future asset. RHJ could be a nice get as well. Those guys the Nets might be willing to let go since they would have to decide after this season whether or not they are going to pay them. Some of us here like Musa so that could be a guy worth considering getting back in a deal as well. Again I wouldn't hate getting Crabbe back in a deal I think he could actually be useful but his salary (the player option for next year) makes him a negative.
