The NBA community on Twitter is having a field day with the latest trade suggestion by an NBA analyst. The two teams involved in the trade are the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors. Both teams are trailing in the playoffs, with the Warriors on the verge of elimination. Yet, fans are going berserk over the exchange involving Jordan Poole and Jaylen Brown.

Given that both teams are struggling in the playoffs, it may be time to jump the gun and make this trade a reality. And even if both teams face second-round elimination, this potential trade may not benefit the Celtics.

Will Jordan Poole see his tenure end with the Warriors?

Jordan Poole has been far from consistent in these playoffs. Poole had a great run throughout the regular season. However, his gameplay as of late has been of a streaky shooter during the first two rounds of the Western Conference playoffs.

As for Jaylen Brown, he has been an integral part of Boston?s offense and their future plans as well. Brown plays well with Celtics star Jayson Tatum and both come together to create a formidable duo in Boston. So, it may not make sense for, at least the Celtics to make this trade. According to Colin Cowherd, the trade should send Jaylen Brown and Malcolm Brogdon to the Warriors whereas the Celtics receive Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins.

While Poole and Wiggins are both great players when on a roll, the players Boston has to offer up, majorly outweigh what they get in return. Brown is a consistent scorer who has the ability to lead the offense as well.

As for Malcolm Brogdon, he has been one of the best three-point shooters on the Celtics roster, and he was recently named the Sixth Man of the Year. So, this trade may not sit well with Boston?s front office.

Fans definitely not on board with the trade
