Overview
- League reporting says the Celtics are engaging multiple teams about trading Jaylen Brown while league sources tell ClutchPoints that Brown has not asked for a move.
- Celtics president Brad Stevens offered measured public comments that called Brown “a big part of us” without ruling out a trade.
- Insiders disagree on which teams have directly contacted Boston, with some reporters naming the Rockets and Pelicans and others saying Houston has not surfaced in their reporting.
- Shams Charania reported Boston has set a steep asking price in some talks, with requests described as up to four first-round picks in trade conversations.
- The urgency to decide has increased after the Giannis trade and other roster moves reshaped the market, which could reduce Boston’s leverage and affect Brown’s long-term role with the team.
