ibtimes.co.ukThe Boston Celtics remain actively engaged in trade talks to move Jaylen Brown, with multiple teams interested in acquiring the forward, ESPN reported. The team explored using Brown as the centerpiece in an offer to the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who instead agreed to join the Miami Heat for multiple players and draft picks.
Team president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said Tuesday night that Brown remains valued by the organization.
"Jaylen Brown is a big part of us," Stevens said. " Brown, 29, has three years left on a five-year, $285.4 million extension signed in 2023 and can sign a two-year, $141.9 million extension on July 26. Stevens said he held multiple one-on-one meetings with Brown this offseason and stayed in contact with the player's agent.
Brown averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game in the 2025-26 season, finishing sixth in NBA MVP voting and earning All-NBA second-team honors. The Celtics lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Philadelphia 76ers, ending a postseason streak that began in 2021.
Over a decade with Boston, Brown earned five All-Star selections, reached the Eastern Conference finals six times and won the 2024 NBA title, when he was named Finals MVP.
He leads the NBA with 83 playoff wins since his postseason debut in 2017.
