The Jaylen Brown Sweepstakes: Seven Trades That Make Sense
How did we get here, 742 days removed from the night Jaylen Brown cradled the Larry O’Brien and Finals MVP trophies in his arms? Only 11 months before that, the Boston Celtics had locked him into a supermax extension, temporarily silencing the trade rumors that nearly drove a wedge between franchise and star. Brown was paid to win, and he did, placing himself on the path to one day retire as a Celtics legend.
But today, somewhat surprisingly, that relationship appears to be hanging on by a thread. After Brown was reportedly (and fruitlessly) offered to the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo earlier this month, he remains on the trade market. On its face, this development is downright bewildering. Locally beloved multiple-time All-Stars aren’t usually shopped during their prime, particularly coming off an All-NBA season that resulted, deservedly, with a spot on dozens of MVP ballots.

Portland Trail Blazers Viewed as Front-Runner to Land Jaylen Brown
The Portland Trail Blazers are the “front-runner” to land Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jaylen Brown, according to The Athletic’s Sam Amick. In a story framed around Denver Nuggets MVP center Nikola Jokic (subscription required), Portland gets an important mention:
But no realistic star player targets have yet emerged, with the Nuggets’ reported interest in [Jaylen] Brown unrealistic because of what they’re able and willing to offer. (The Celtics, per league sources, have been asking for up to four first-round picks; Portland is seen as the front-runner there.)
The Blazers in recent days are reported to have kept Deni Avdija and Donovan Clingan out of trade talks, leaving Jerami Grant, Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara, and others as both salary ballast and enticement to a Boston Celtics team who may have sensed discontent from Brown’s camp one too many times for comfort.
