Celtics being viewed as early suitors for two elite centers who were on conference final teams
Multiple teams are monitoring Jaylen Brown as Boston weighs a $141.9 million extension decision in July, Jake Fischer reported.
- On Tuesday, NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that several franchises are monitoring Boston Celtics All-Star Jaylen Brown as a potential trade target, though no indication exists that Boston is actively shopping the six-time All-Star.
- Despite Boston squandering a 3-1 series lead in the postseason, Brown expressed a desire to remain, stating, "If it was up to me, I'd play in Boston for the next 10 years."
- League observers identified the Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, and New Orleans Pelicans as teams monitoring Brown, with Fischer noting the Rockets' interest stems from head coach Ime Udoka's history with the forward.
- Portland, under owner Tom Dundon, reportedly explores aggressive upgrades potentially involving Jerami Grant, while the Atlanta Hawks could emerge as a serious contender if Boston opens the door to negotiations.
- The Celtics face a significant decision this July regarding a potential two-year, $141.9 million contract extension for the 28-year-old, who averaged career highs of 28.7 points and 5.1 assists during Boston's 56-win season.
