He was a crucial piece on the 2022-23 Denver Nuggets during their championship run and would look to fill a similar role in Boston.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_89c6xnv0s\">The 26-year-old Brown averaged 10.8 points per game last season on 48 percent shooting for the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors. The year prior, he had a playoffs scoring average of 12 points per game on 51% shooting on the way to Denver&#8217;s first championship.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_uzchtjod7\">His playoff performance would prove to be essential for Boston as they are already looking towards the end of the regular season.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_d4xq92cm7\">Garrett Temple is also someone that should not be overlooked for the Celtics.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_1bbyhrcr0\">Temple is a 14-year NBA veteran and if Boston should keep him, he would be a valuable locker-room presence. The journeyman has been on 12 different franchises and can keep the young roster focused come playoff time.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_t0n9b52iq\">Holiday would make an instant impact for a struggling Raptors team, especially with their own guard averaging over one steal per game, rising star Scottie Barnes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Friday night&#8217;s 114-97 loss to the Sacramento Kings, this potential Boston Celtics trade may not be too much of an overreaction.
