Jaylen Brown was a name included in the Celtics' attempt to trade for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo , but the Miami Heat won the Giannis sweepstakes, leaving Brown and the Celtics in a bit of an awkward situation.
There have been a number of teams linked to Jaylen Brown and potential interest in trading for the Celtics star, but that interest hasn't led to anything more.
Per Sam Amick of The Athletic :
"League sources have been tying the Blazers to Brown for some time now, but all indications are that their interest is moderate, at best.
"While the Nuggets have certainly considered the Brown option, they haven't spoken to the Celtics since the weekend and their interest has been significantly overstated, according to team sources who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe ongoing negotiations.

"The Nets are another team that has been tied to Brown but the Nets are not engaged with the Celtics at all and don't appear to be heading in that direction, those sources said."
That doesn't leave many other teams with registered interest in Jaylen Brown as willing to trade for the Celtics star.
Free agency officially kicked off on Tuesday night, and the Boston Celtics are sure to be players as they look to improve the roster around Jayson Tatum .
