Earlier reporting indicated that Boston explored trading Brown as part of a package for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who ultimately ended up signing with another team. With Antetokounmpo now headed to Miami, the Celtics face an uncertain path regarding Brown, who carried Boston while Jayson Tatum was sidelined last season and delivered strong production.
During that standout season, Brown averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game, earning All-NBA Second Team honors and finishing sixth in MVP voting. The 29-year-old forward signed a five-year, $285.4 million extension in 2023, and starting July 26, he would be eligible to negotiate another extension that could cover up to two additional years and $141.9 million.
As trade rumors intensify, it remains unclear how Boston plans to move forward with Brown. Betting markets have already opened up possibilities for which team he might play for next season, reflecting the ongoing curiosity from fans and bettors alike.
Betting odds (as of the latest update) for Brown’s next destination include:
– Boston Celtics: +165
– Charlotte Hornets: +500
– Cleveland Cavaliers: +700
– Houston Rockets: +800
– Atlanta Hawks: +900
– Minnesota Timberwolves: +1000
– Detroit Pistons: +1000
– Portland Trail Blazers: +1100
– Utah Jazz: +1100
– New Orleans Pelicans: +1100
