Brown has garnered a lot of attention , to say the least, with the Denver Nuggets , the Atlanta Hawks , the Portland Trail Blazers , and the Los Angeles Clippers reportedly pursuing him. The Celtics are allegedly asking for four first-round picks in exchange for the former Finals MVP.
There were whispers that Brown has grown displeased with the front office following their first-round elimination in the playoffs, where they blew a 3-1 lead against the Philadelphia 76ers . Brown tried to put out the fire by maintaining that he has a good relationship with top brass Brad Stevens and that he wants to stay in Boston .
The Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach, however, revealed that Brown's headspace has become less rosy .
"A league source said that Brown has grown frustrated with the organization's approach following a season in which he guided the Celtics to 56 wins while Jayson Tatum was sidelined for months with an Achilles injury," said Himmelsbach.

The Celtics tried to trade the 29-year-old Brown to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Giannis Antetokounmpo . Now that it failed to materialize, Boston is in an awkward position of trying to repair whatever damage it caused to Brown.
One of the most difficult things in sports is rebuilding trust, and Brown might have become even more disenchanted with the Celtics amid the situation, especially since he carried the team to the second seed in the Eastern Conference in what many thought was a transition year.
It probably has not helped that his running mate, Jayson Tatum, has largely remained mum about everything instead of publicly throwing his support to the five-time All-Star.
