Celtics would have 'zero interest' in Durant for Jaylen Brown trade
The firmest rumor that emerged over the summer about a Durant destination was a potential deal with Boston that centered on Jaylen Brown going to Brooklyn. But that was only a very preliminary discussion, and no firm offers were on the table. A resuscitation of that framework could come up again, except it’s virtually certain that Boston would not engage on a Brown-centered deal. “Oh, it would be zero interest from the Celtics, that would be a non-starter,” the East exec said. “Brown’s an All-Star and he’s eight years younger than KD (who is 34). The team’s playing well, they’re not going to touch that. I am sure it will be talked about again, and maybe the Celtics will struggle and things can change. But that would be shocking.”

Jaylen Brown was alarmed #nets owner Joe Tsai didn’t say they’re working toward getting Kyrie Irving back on the court, but that he has more work to do. Brown said Tsai, Nike and business owners have more work to do, and that he’s trying to protect Irving’s legal rights as VP. – 10:44 PM

Jaylen Brown said he had a knee contusion in the game before last and then the game before that he had a slight right ankle sprain, so that’s why he sat out the second night of a back-to-back. – 10:40 PM

Jaylen Brown has 18 points, but this hasn’t been a great game for him. OKC is going at him defensive. It’s either directly, like with SGA a few times or off-ball by back cutting him over and over. – 8:46 PM

The Celtics defense has made so many mistakes guarding OKC’s cuts out on the weak side, targeting Jaylen Brown several times when he had the low man position on the baseline. Poku is jumping over Grant for boards and OKC’s length driving the lane has been a problem. – 8:41 PM

More on this storyline
Jared Weiss: Asked Jaylen Brown if the Nets’ process with Kyrie Irving is fair: “I think you are asking for a need to satisfy the common public & I’m not sure if that is something that Kyrie is looking to do. I don’t think he meant any harm by posting it. But the comment that Joe Tsai made which I feel like bothered a lot of people was like, ‘He has more work to do.’ Like, what does that mean? Our society has more work to do, including Joe Tsai. So I’m curious to know what that is, what that means, and everybody is tuned in.” -via Twitter @JaredWeissNBA / November 15, 2022
Kemba Walker said he helped Boston Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown stick together amid constant trade rumors. The former Celtics guard discussed the situation with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on The Woj Pod (h/t Conor Roche of Boston.com): “I remember me telling those guys, because they’ve always seen the talks and everybody saying they can’t play with each other, I always told them just block that out. I always told them, this organization isn’t going nowhere without you two, literally. My main thing to those guys was that they have to love each other. Jayson and Jaylen, you two guys have to come together as much as you can and lead this team to the promised land. They can’t go anywhere without those two guys.” -via Bleacher Report / November 14, 2022
