The Boston Celtics wasted no time igniting buzz this offseason, kicking things off with high-profile trades. First, they shipped out Jrue Holiday on Monday. Just a day later, Kristaps Porzingis was moved in a three-team trade.
Now, another blockbuster may be in the works. Jaylen Brown has become the latest name circulating in trade rumors. Jacob Ortiz of Legion Hoops shared a bombshell update that stirred fans.
“I’m being told the Celtics are seriously considering trading Jaylen Brown,” the report read.

But Ortiz wasn’t the only one raising eyebrows. ESPN’s NBA insider Shams Charania echoed the same sentiment on ESPN.
“The Celtics are getting offers, calls on both Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. Their preference has been to keep both players. They are listening, but will a team get there?” Charania said.
