A quick word on Jaylen Brown, as his sticky situation continues to loom so large over this offseason. Barring a drastic and unforeseen change in the market, the Boston Celtics will have to significantly lower their asking price if they plan on trading him anytime soon.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ve no doubt heard by now, they\u2019ve been asking for up to four first-round picks (in addition to players) for a team to land the 29-year-old forward. We knew this during the Giannis Antetokounmpo negotiations but it remains true in the wake of Boston getting beat out by Miami in those sweepstakes.<\/p>\n

And while there is some interest in Brown out there, the fact-finding I\u2019ve done over the course of the past couple days strongly indicates that it\u2019s nowhere near the level they\u2019d like.<\/p>\n

Here are the most timely examples.<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s over. Yeah, I think it’s over. It’s also, you know, what stage he’s at in his career, right? This isn’t when he was getting traded or in trade rumors for Kevin Durant or Anthony Davis. Like this is him after a Finals MVP and an all NBA level player. Like I think he views himself differently. And honestly, I don’t, I, I don’t blame him. There’s sort of the grass is greener on the other side. Side aspect that players tend to look at, especially star players who have never been given the opportunity to be a number one option on the team. The question is, where can he get that game off? Like, where is, where is the place that Jalen Brown thinks is the next spot for him? And I’m, I, I don’t know if he’ll have as much control of his destination as some of these other stars, but I’m pretty curious where he ends up because he could fit in a lot of different places.”,”ineligibleRegion”:[“BI”,”BY”,”CD”,”CF”,”CU”,”IQ”,”IR”,”KP”,”LB”,”LY”,”ML”,”NI”,”RU”,”SD”,”SO”,”SS”,”SY”,”UA”,”VE”,”YE”,”ZW”],”publisher”:{“@type”:”NewsMediaOrganization”,”@id”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/#publisher”,”name”:”The Athletic”,”url”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/”,”foundingDate”:”2016-01-25″,”logo”:{“@type”:”ImageObject”,”@id”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”url”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”contentUrl”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”creditText”:”The Athletic”,”height”:”60″,”width”:”435″},”publishingPrinciples”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/edit-guidelines\/”,”sameAs”:”https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Athletic”},”author”:[{“@type”:”Person”,”name”:”Zenab Keita and Esfandiar Baraheni”}]}<\/p>\n
