Jaylen Brown Seemingly Responds to Being Included in Kevin Durant Celtics Trade Rumors

Kevin Durant requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets.

The news sent shockwaves throughout the league as many were surprised that Durant had requested a trade after signing an extension, and it all happened after Kyrie agreed to stay put in Brooklyn.   While the Nets continue to wait for the right trade to move the future Hall of Famer, they received an offer from the Boston Celtics.

The Nets were just swept out of the playoffs by the Celtics, who made a run to the NBA Finals, and now they are inquiring around Durant.

Via Shams Charania of The Athletic, the focus of the trade offer is All-Star Jaylen Brown:

The Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat remain among the teams in pursuit — and the Boston Celtics recently offered a package around one-time All-Star Jaylen Brown for Durant and have emerged as a real threat to acquire Durant, league sources tell The Athletic.

The Celtics offered Brown, guard Derrick White and a draft pick to the Nets for Durant, sources said. The proposal was rejected, and Brooklyn has asked Boston — in any proposal — to include Brown, Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, draft picks and potentially one more rotation player, those sources added. Currently, the Celtics are less inclined to include Smart along with multiple other player or pick assets, but the franchise is mulling over next steps on how to approach discussions.

As of right now, the Celtics have emerged as a serious possibility as a landing spot for Durant.

Brooklyn needs something in return for KD that can get them excited.

And Brown may just do that. He clearly isn’t too happy about being included in the trade offer.
