Jaylen Brown Revealed as Trade Candidate for 3 Teams by NBA Insider

Marc Stein says the Celtics and Heat intrigue Antetokounmpo most, while several teams are also monitoring Brown in three-team trade talks.

  • NBA insider Marc Stein reported Monday that the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat are "increasingly perceived to be" destinations intriguing Giannis Antetokounmpo, while the Atlanta Hawks, Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers have interest in Jaylen Brown.
  • Boston's first-round collapse against Philadelphia, blowing a 3-1 series lead, intensified questions about Brown's future; Antetokounmpo's status grew uncertain after Milwaukee's 32-50 season ended their playoff streak.
  • Brown set career highs with 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, earning second-team All-NBA honors, yet Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady believes his "frustration lies deeply within" the organization despite Brown saying on Twitch "I love Boston."
  • The Hawks, Rockets and Trail Blazers each offer distinct advantages: Atlanta is Brown's hometown team, Houston employs former Celtics coach Ime Udoka, and Portland features ex-Celtics Jrue Holiday and Robert Williams III coming off their best season in five years.
  • Antetokounmpo prefers remaining in the Eastern Conference, though the Dallas Mavericks have "never really left" his thinking given his relationship with former coach Jason Kidd, after ESPN's Shams Charania reported in December that the MVP explored alternatives with Milwaukee prior to the February 5 deadline.
