There is no such thing as minor knee surgery, and the longer-term impacts could be anything from an afterthought to a potential disaster.

The Celtics ' X account announced that shooting guard Jaylen Brown successfully underwent surgery on his knee this past Wednesday. "Jaylen Brown today underwent a successful right knee arthroscopic debridement procedure," the Celtics said. "He is expected to participate in training camp without limitation."

But the thought of trading Brown could help the Celtics more than many realize. Celtics insider Jay King of The Athletic reveals one massive reason why trading Brown could be in the cards, depending on how the front office wants to play things this summer.
