If the Boston Celtics don’t ultimately trade Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo, don’t expect Brown to go anywhere this summer.
“Everyone around the league is going to be talking about this—if this deal does not get done for the Celtics, what is the future of Brown? He’s got multiple years left on his deal. To just trade a player like that—you’ve seen what Brad Stevens has done—to my knowledge, they’re not shopping Brown,” ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Monday on The Pat McAfee Show. “This is a very specific situation, but this is now twice in four years that the Celtics have offered Brown in a major trade for a future Hall of Famer. In 2022 they offered him, as well as other pieces, for Kevin Durant. They missed on that. Now they’re going after Giannis and they’ve put Brown on the table. It’s a situation where they have a clear goal, they feel like they’re going to be upgrading their team.”
