Jaylen Brown could be next Celtics trade domino with ‘significant’ interest around NBA
NY Post
It’s looking like a fire sale in Boston.
Fresh off trading key pieces of their 2024 championship team in Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, the rest of the NBA wants to see if the Celtics will move their Finals MVP, Jaylen Brown, along with complementary two-way wing Derrick White.
“It means them phone lines are ringing in Boston,” ESPN’s Shams Charania said on “SportsCenter with Scott VanPelt” on Tuesday following Porzingis heading to Atlanta in a three-way deal.
“My understanding is the Celtics are getting offers, calls on both Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. The Celtics have high price thresholds for both players. We know how great Jaylen Brown and Derrick White are. I’m sure they’re getting some massive offers, some pretty big-time calls as well. Their preference has been to keep both players but this is a team that is still in the first apron, still a luxury tax team, still dealing with the uncertainty of Jayson Tatum’s status next season.”
Charania said earlier Tuesday on the “Stephen A. Smith” show before the Porziginis trade that there were multiple teams with “significant” interest in Brown.
