The Boston Celtics’ Eastern Conference Finals elimination opened the floodgates for Jaylen Brown trade proposals — which makes sense considering previous comments made about “toxic” fans in the city of Boston and the looming potential $295 million supermax now on the table after his All-NBA Second Team 2022-23 season.
HoopsHabit’s Cal Durrett came up with a “must” scenario for both the Celtics and the Rockets involving Brown that’d see Boston acquire a pair of top-4 draft picks: 2021 No. 2 pick Jalen Green and Houston’s No. 4 pick in the 2023 draft. The scenario is one seemingly on the table considering previous reporting from Rockets insider John Granato indicating Brown would be on Houston’s radar.
