Boston Celtics - Jayson Tatum
This is a no-brainer right here. He is the face of the franchise and should remain as the face of their franchise barring any career or franchise changing moves that happen in the next few years.
76ers - Joel Embiid
He is the NBA MVP. They won't trade him for a while, unless they rebuild. This could be Tyrese Maxey, but he is not the caliber as Embiid and he still has a lot of work to do on his game before being at that level.
Knicks - Jalen Brunson
This is a chance between Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle and I would choose Brunson in a heartbeat. He is the center of the franchise and will not be traded. Randle could be flipped for a star like Embiid in the future.
Nets - Mikal Bridges
He is clearly the best player on this team. There were so many trade rumors and high trade offers, but they have made it clear that he is the face of their franchise and will not be moved.
Raptors - Scottie Barnes
Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby have been mentioned very frequently in trade talks, and their contracts also show that they have uncertain futures. Scottie Barnes is their main untouchable player and their best asset.
