When Brown's name is mentioned as a trade candidate, thethey are going to be patient and are not one player away, they do have the assets to pull off a Brown trade if the Celtics want to move him. Let's take a look at those.

Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images | Brett Davis-Imagn ImagesNow, I do not think that the Hawks are going to offer any of their core four of Johnson, Daniels, Alexander-Walker, and Okongwu in a Brown deal and if that is a deal breaker for the Celtics , I don't think there is any chance that a deal is going to happen, based on how the Hawks have talked about each of those players.
If the Hawks wanted to get up to Brown's $57 million salary, they could include a combination of Kuminga, Kispert, Risacher, Hield, or Newell. Would the Celtics be interested in that? That is to be determined if talks ever even got that far, but they could also be useful in a potential three-team deal .
The Hawks have a number of first round draft picks they could offer the Celtics in a potential Jaylen Brown trade:Would the Hawks want to include the No. 8 pick in this year's draft? If they are not going to include any of Johnson, Daniels, Alexander-Walker, or Okongwu, the Celtics may insist that the Hawks include the No. 8 pick in this year's draft or multiple future firsts, which they have been hesitant to do.
If the Hawks wanted to make a deal for Brown, they would have more than enough assets to get something done. The question is, how much are they willing to include? The other teams that have been mentioned as potential Brown suitors include the Rockets and Blazers. The Rockets could beat the Hawks' offer with the young talent and surplus of draft picks, if they wish to include them.
The Blazers could also be more of a threat if the Celtics want to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo in a trade. Portland holds multiple first-round picks that belong to Milwaukee and the Bucks could want them in a trade more than anything the Hawks have to offer.
The Hawks have options this summer, and they are not going to be shy about making a deal if the price is right, but if the price is not right, the Hawks are comfortable being patient.
