Celtics’ High Asking Price Discourages Teams from Jaylen Brown Trade

The Boston Celtics, after failing to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo, aggressively sought a trade for Jaylen Brown, demanding four unprotected first-round picks, which ultimately deterred potential partners. This high asking price led to a cooling trade market, with interested teams moving on to other options. Eventually, the Celtics traded Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers on July 1 for Paul George, one unprotected first-round pick, and two second-round picks. Brown, a five-time All-Star, had a career-high season averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists.
