Boston Celtics reportedly explore trade for Jaylen Brown amid player’s social media activity
The Celtics are said to be actively seeking a trade for forward Jaylen Brown, who recently liked an Instagram comment suggesting he be moved to a city that respects him.
Boston is reportedly pursuing a trade for forward Jaylen Brown, according to multiple NBA insiders. The interest follows the player’s recent Instagram activity, where he liked a comment that called for the Celtics to send him to "a city who respects him."
ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst said the Celtics are "very motivated" to move Brown and are "offering him everywhere," while colleague Shams Charania noted that the former Finals MVP has not attracted as much market interest as the team hoped.
Brown, a 2024 championship contributor, posted career-high averages of 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game last season. He has been with Boston since being drafted and was recently paired with Jayson Tatum as the franchise looked to build on its recent success.
