While rumors of a potential trade between Brooklyn and Boston involving Kevin Durant and Jaylen Brown swirled, Brown had assurance from Celtics governor Wyc Grousebeck that he would remain in Boston.
“Jaylen is not going anywhere,” Grousebeck said during an appearance on WEEI’s Greg Hill Show. “He knew that before the trade deadline because I told him personally.”
Days before the trade deadline, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith told viewers to watch out for a potential Brown for Durant swap.
It’s far from the first time such a trade has been reportedly discussed.
