Teams are now preparing to send offers for Jaylen Brown after Celtics strike out on Giannis,
Per @WindhorstESPN
What I expect to happen, is a bidding war for Jaylen Brown. In the most recent days, teams have been preparing for this eventuality. I think it?ll take time to play out, but if there is a draft pick involved, it could happen today.
I do not believe this at all.
I do. There were lots of reports for 3rd teams involved in a Giannis/Brown trade. Makes sense those teams and maybe others would make an offer for Brown. May need to change it slightly but Im sure offers will come in for Brown as he makes sense on a handful of teams which could trade value for him and still be good.
Another outside the box trade
Jalen Williams, Kenrich Williams, Isaiah Joe, 12 for Brown, 40
Agree to trade now, OKC makes the pick for Boston (and vice versa) and finalize after new league year when Williams extension kicks in (OKC woukd need to work the options as well). OKC upgrades their 2nd best player and shaves some salary, while Boston gets a younger running mate for Tatum and a late lotto pick.
