Celtics Not Motivated By Money Or Follow-Up Trade In Dealing Jaylen Brown

The Boston Celtics' blockbuster trade sending Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers was not a cost-cutting move and was not made with a follow-up deal in mind, according to a league source. Boston sent the 2024 NBA Finals MVP to Philadelphia on Wednesday in exchange for Paul George, two future first-round picks and two second-round picks. George has two years remaining on his four-year, 211 million contract, one fewer than Brown had remaining. The swap will save the Celtics roughly 2.9 million this season. Despite that savings, a league source stressed the trade was not a financial decision. The source said there was no directive from ownership to move Brown. The same source added that Wednesday's deal was not executed with an imminent secondary trade already planned. Boston's front office reportedly agonized over the decision for days before finalizing it.

Celtics Don't Believe They've Reached Irreconcilable Place With Jaylen Brown

The Boston Celtics do not believe they will be forced to trade Jaylen Brown this offseason after previously offering him to the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Sources tell The Stein Line that the Celtics view a reconciliation with Brown as a plausible scenario. However, rival teams are convinced that the Celtics won't be able to retain Brown going into next season and that they will ultimately need to choose a trade. Whereas the Bucks could consider a number of trade scenarios for Antetokounmpo as they initiate a rebuild, the Celtics will only trade Brown for a type of return that allows them to remain in title contention around Jayson Tatum. Brown eligible for a two-year, 141.8 million contract extension in July that would be a possible avenue for the two sides to recommit to each other.
