The Boston Celtics were intent on trading Jaylen Brown in the 2026 offseason. While they tried to make a deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brown was the primary asset that they were going to send to the Milwaukee Bucks. That did not materialize, as he was sent to the Philadelphia 76ers in a subsequent deal.

It seems like Brown wanted to stay in Boston and run it back with his now-former co-star Jayson Tatum. However, Tatum had a hands-off approach to the situation, as he let team president Brad Stevens do his job, so Brown was off to Philly.
