Jaylen Brown’s commerce market seems to be heating up.
The Boston Celtics star Brown is being linked to each the Atlanta Hawks and the LA Clippers as potential commerce locations, Celtics reporter Alex Goldberg revealed in a current look on the “Third Apron” podcast. Goldberg notes that the Hawks and the Clippers have been floated as prospects to tackle Brown as a 3rd group concerned in a much bigger commerce that may ship Giannis Antetokounmpo to Boston.
Antetokounmpo, the disgruntled Milwaukee Bucks star, is extensively anticipated to lastly get traded this offseason. In the meantime, now we have been listening to for over a month now that the Celtics could potentially break up their core this summer as a way to commerce for Antetokounmpo.
Brown, the 29-year-old former Finals MVP, is on the peak of his worth proper now. He simply loved a profession 12 months for Boston, averaging 28.7 factors, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per sport as co-star Jayson Tatum missed many of the 12 months whereas recovering from Achilles surgical procedure.
However the Celtics went on to lose within the first spherical of the playoffs, blowing a 3-1 result in the No. 7 seed Philadelphia 76ers. There has additionally been some chatter over these final couple of weeks that Brown is supposedly frustrated right now in Boston.
Each the Clippers, who personal the No. 5 general choose on this 12 months’s draft, and the Hawks, who personal the No. 8 choose, have some connections to Brown. The Clippers are a West Coast group (Brown performed his faculty ball at Cal) and likewise make use of former Celtics advisor Jeff Van Gundy as an assistant coach. In the meantime, the Hawks hit even nearer to dwelling for Brown, who’s a local of close by Murietta, Ga. and has already been linked to an Atlanta-area return in years past.
Brown is on an enormous contract with Boston (owed roughly $183 million over the following three seasons), so the one possible risk for a commerce is that if he’s certainly included as a part of a multi-team Antetokounmpo blockbuster. That mentioned, it now seems there are a number of groups that might make such a risk occur with the Celtics and Bucks.
