Trade idea swaps Fox, Johnson to Boston for George, Hauser

A hypothetical trade would send De'Aaron Fox and Keldon Johnson to Boston, with Paul George and Sam Hauser going back to San Antonio. The pitch argues the Celtics need Fox's rim pressure after ranking 26th in drives last season, while Johnson would replace some of what Jaylen Brown provides on the wing.

For the Spurs, the idea is to shed Fox's four-year, $221M extension and open more minutes for Dylan Harper, while adding George's perimeter shooting alongside Victor Wembanyama.
