Jaylen Brown trade rumors heat up: Who’s in play if Celtics can’t re-sign?
Pelicans, Hawks, Raptors, and Clippers are circling if the Celtics can’t lock up the two-time All-Star this summer. The supermax deadline adds urgency to Boston’s decision.
The Boston Celtics face a critical decision on Jaylen Brown’s future, with four teams—New Orleans Pelicans, Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors, and Los Angeles Clippers—reportedly monitoring the situation as potential suitors if a long-term deal isn’t reached. The Pelicans, fresh off a Western Conference playoff run, are viewed as the most aggressive pursuit, with a package centered around Brandon Ingram and a first-round pick reportedly on the table. The Hawks, buoyed by Trae Young’s playmaking and a deep roster, have the cap space and assets to make a competitive offer, while the Raptors could pivot to a sign-and-trade using OG Anunoby as trade bait.
