Jaylen Brown wants to remain in Boston in spite of trade talks

When WEEI’s Jermaine Wiggins claimed that Jaylen Brown told him he wouldn’t re-sign in Boston when his contract expires in 2024, Brown was perplexed and denied the report behind closed doors, sources familiar with Brown’s thinking told The Athletic. In spite of the trade talks, Brown wants to be in Boston.

We all understand how risky trading for Kevin Durant would be for Boston. I wrote about how risky trading for Jaylen Brown would be for Brooklyn.
On the CBA’s broken extension rules, the new TV deal, and one of the more unusual possible star trades ever.

The Jaylen Brown Boston Celtics saga is a good reminder of why OKC is such a secretive organization.

More on this storyline

“I don’t believe everything I see on TV,” Tatum said of Brown’s reported inclusion in an offer for Durant by Boston. “I’ve seen some (expletive) about me that was a lie. You never really know what is true and what’s not true.” -via Booth Newspapers / July 26, 2022 In the aftermath of Charania’s report, several league sources who spoke with The Athletic believe the Nets are looking to drive the market and avoid the kerfuffle of Durant no-showing for training camp. Toronto has thus far kept Scottie Barnes out of a Durant deal, just as the Celtics are making Jayson Tatum untouchable. The Raptors could offer some combination of Pascal Siakam, Gary Trent, Jr., and OG Anunoby, and Brooklyn may want to get all of them with plenty of draft capital as well. -via The Athletic / July 26, 2022 Clutch Points: “l do think Jaylen Brown’s frustrated. He’s a straight up ‘dawg’ & I think he’ll be able to brush off these rumors & play well with Boston if they don’t land KD.” Chris Broussard on Jaylen Brown’s relationship with Boston after the KD trade rumors 👀 pic.twitter.com/6uslHkd3oX -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / July 26, 2022
