Celtics Rumors: Trade for Jaylen Brown Is Realistic and Could Demand Return on Par with Kevin Durant.
While he waits for his enormous salary, Jaylen Brown might not be an invincible part of the Boston Celtics’ long-term plans, according to Howard Beck of The Ringer.
The $286.2 million, five-year extension for Brown begins in 2024–2025. In light of this, Beck stated that Boston “will eventually have to confront the financial realities of the new CBA,” indicating that it is not completely impossible that the three-time All-Star will be traded.
An executive from the Western Conference, cited by Beck, predicted that Brown “would set the record for the biggest return” and demand “a Durant-type deal.” That kind of haul, according to him, consists of “multiple first-round picks and swaps, plus high-level rotation players.”
