Celtics Signal They’re Shopping Jaylen Brown, Eyeing Four First-Round Picks Across 8–10 Teams

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Celtics have actively shopped Jaylen Brown, soliciting offers from roughly eight to ten teams and asking for at least four first‑round picks, with Brown not requesting a trade. Interest has been linked to several franchises (Portland, Cleveland, Toronto, Charlotte, Atlanta, and others) amid ongoing roster moves and free‑agency activity, while Boston has added Mike Conley and Mitchell Robinson. Brown is under contract through 2026‑27 and could sign a two-year extension in July, though no deal is imminent.

Celtics push to trade Jaylen Brown, targeting a heavy draft haul

Boston is actively shopping Jaylen Brown, soliciting offers from about eight to ten teams and has set a high asking price that includes at least four first-round picks. Brown hasn’t requested a trade and no deal is close, but ESPN’s Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst say Boston intends to move him, potentially even if it takes until the season starts.

Celtics Hold Firm on Jaylen Brown Price as Trade Market Remains Tepid

Boston remains firm on a high price for Jaylen Brown (up to four first-round picks plus players) even as the market for a deal is tepid; Portland’s interest is modest and Denver/Nets have not met the Celtics’ terms, with Boston potentially needing to lower expectations after being out in the Giannis sweepstakes and Miami’s win.

Raptors Hold Leverage as Kawhi Leonard-Clippers Talks Enter Sticky Stage

Toronto Raptors are pursuing Kawhi Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers, but the deal is blocked by Leonard’s expected extension with Toronto and the Clippers’ demand for a top asset. The Raptors reportedly won’t part with Collin Murray-Boyles, their prized young piece, which could push the Clippers toward alternatives like Ja’Kobe Walter. A potential offer discussed by some view as Walter, Brandon Ingram, and a future first-round pick, but the Raptors’ leverage and untouchability of Murray-Boyles complicate any agreement.

Blazers Hold Holiday Amid Morant Swap, Eye Frontcourt Boost

Portland signaled it will retain Jrue Holiday after trading for Ja Morant, planning to deploy Holiday at shooting guard and small forward to coexist with Scoot Henderson and Damian Lillard. While a Holiday trade isn’t guaranteed, the Blazers aren’t rushing to move him or Donovan Clingan (off-limits) as they pursue frontcourt upgrades, anticipating the possible departure of Robert Williams in free agency; analysts question the Morant deal’s fit and impact.

Celtics Dream Big: Brown to Kings for DeRozan, Sabonis, and Three First-Round Picks

Celtics Dream Big: Brown to Kings for DeRozan, Sabonis, and Three First-Round Picks

The idea from The Ringer’s Michael Pina imagines the Boston Celtics trading Jaylen Brown to the Sacramento Kings for DeMar DeRozan, Domantas Sabonis and three first-round picks. The proposal would age Boston (Brown ~30 vs. DeRozan ~37) but add two former All-Stars and substantial draft capital, with DeRozan’s expiring contract and Sabonis’s injury-shortened 2025-26 season as key caveats. Sacramento would gain a dynamic wing, while Boston would land Sabonis’s interior scoring and playmaking, all while weighing payroll/tax implications and fit with surrounding pieces.

Portland Leads Brown Trade Talks as Several Teams Weigh Offers

Portland has emerged as the frontrunner to acquire Jaylen Brown, with the Celtics aiming to move quickly. The Toronto Raptors, Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn Nets and Atlanta Hawks are also in the mix, and Cleveland could join only if Evan Mobley is included. Potential packages discussed include Jerami Grant and Donovan Clingan for Portland, or Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson as counteroffers.

Blazers Named Front-Runner to Land Jaylen Brown in Bold Trade Scenario

Portland is viewed as the front-runner to trade for Jaylen Brown, with The Athletic noting Boston’s potentially four-first-rounders demand. Portland’s likely package centers on Jerami Grant, Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe and Toumani Camara, supported by deep draft capital (unprotected 2028 Magic pick, favorable 2029 picks, and Bucks pick swaps). Deni Avdija and Donovan Clingan have reportedly been kept out of talks, and fans are invited to weigh what balance of players and picks they’d accept.

Mavericks-Clippers Discuss Kawhi Leonard Trade, Eyes Raptors Link

NBA rumors say the Mavericks and Clippers have talked about trading Kawhi Leonard, potentially reuniting him with Raptors exec Masai Ujiri; Dallas reportedly proposed a package including P.J. Washington, Klay Thompson, and draft picks to LA. Leonard, 35, posted a strong 2025-26 season but carries injury risk, and teams weigh the upside of a Kyrie Irving–led roster against long-term assets.

Raptors, Clippers reportedly in serious talks to bring Kawhi back

Reports say the Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Clippers have held real talks about trading Kawhi Leonard, with Leonard reportedly wanting a reunion only with his former teams (Raptors or Spurs) and the Clippers reluctant to move him. A deal would hinge on salary-matching and asset packages, with Toronto potentially offering multiple first-round picks and swaps (and the Clippers likely seeking major pieces such as Brandon Ingram). Salary-cap constraints and Leonard’s age/injury history add risk, and the NBA is also reviewing a Clippers sponsorship that could affect draft picks if violations are found.

Kawhi Leonard’s potential return: Spurs or Raptors are on the table if he extends

Kawhi Leonard is reportedly open to signing an extension with either the Toronto Raptors or San Antonio Spurs if the Clippers trade him, but any deal hinges on complex salary-matching and the requirement of a future extension, all amid an ongoing Aspiration sponsorship investigation. The Raptors would face hard-cap risks and would likely need significant assets (potentially including Quickley, Poeltl, or Ingram) and multiple picks to make a deal work, while the Spurs could technically match salaries but would have to navigate long-term cap planning around future stars like Victor Wembanyama and Dylan Harper, possibly needing to move De’Aaron Fox to make the math work. The Clippers, seeking a substantial return, would not trade him without confidence he plans to stay beyond next season. In short, a reunion is possible but fraught with cap, asset and health hurdles, making it far from straightforward.”,

LaMelo Ball Trade Watch: Five Viable Landing Spots Emerge

Charlotte Hornets are reportedly shopping LaMelo Ball, with ESPN citing interest from five potential suitors—Minnesota, Toronto, Portland, Detroit, and Milwaukee—as analysts assess fit, timelines and salary hurdles. The piece evaluates plausible packages ranging from Gobert- or Reid-centered ideas in Minnesota to Collin Murray-Boyles or draft-capital options in Toronto, plus Portland’s, Detroit’s and Milwaukee’s considerations. Ball reportedly wants to stay in Charlotte, but the rising trade chatter reflects a dynamic market for a young, high-upside guard with injury history and a max extension looming.
