Celtics face limited interest in Jaylen Brown trade at high asking price
Boston's request for multiple first-round picks and players appears to exceed the interest of potential trade partners, prompting a possible price reduction.
Boston is likely to lower its price for forward Jaylen Brown if it hopes to complete a trade this offseason. The Celtics have been seeking up to four first-round draft picks and additional players, a demand that sources say exceeds the interest of other teams.
Portland has been linked to Brown, but league insiders describe the Blazers' interest as moderate and far below Boston's asking level. Denver has also considered the player, yet team sources note the Nuggets lack the draft assets required and have not engaged in recent talks with the Celtics. Brooklyn’s Nets are reportedly not in discussions with Boston regarding Brown and show no indication of pursuing a deal.
The limited response suggests the Celtics may need to adjust their expectations to facilitate a trade, otherwise the player could remain with the team into the next season.
