The Boston Celtics tried and failed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis. Milwaukee opted to accept a trade package from the Miami Heat instead. Now, Brown remains in Boston, but for how long?
The Celtics are still likely to trade Brown, a former NBA Finals MVP, according to insiders from around the league. Boston appears to be ready to break up the Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum tandem. However, it remains to be seen where Brown will end up.
According to a report from NBA insider Mike Scotto, seven teams are emerging as the most likely trade destinations for the star forward, as we inch closer toward the start of the new league year.
