Stephen A. Smith told viewers to keep their eyes on a potential Jaylen Brown-for-Kevin Durant trade earlier this week on ESPN’s “First Take.”
The Celtics reportedly offered Brown in exchange for Durant during trade talks that fell apart this summer. The speculation around a potential deal had largely died down while the Celtics got off to a blazing start on their way to the NBA’s best record.
But now, with Smith’s comments and the Nets’ decision to deal Kyrie Irving to Dallas, Durant’s future with Brooklyn seems more uncertain than it had in recent months.
