The Boston Celtics have emerged with potential trade interest in Giannis Antetokounmpo, which would almost certainly mean Jaylen Brown would be outgoing to team beyond the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks have been three teams typically broached as having interest in Brown should he become available. Brown will turn 30 in October and has $183 million over the next three seasons remaining on his existing contract.
Brown is coming off the best season of his career as he led the Celtics to the second best record in the Eastern Conference despite playing most of the season without Jayson Tatum.
If the Bucks trade Antetokounmpo to the Celtics, they're not expected to have interest in keeping Brown for themselves as they're prioritizing future draft capital and young players as they rebuild with the trade of their two-time MVP.
The Blazers own multiple future draft picks originating with the Bucks, which puts them in a unique position to participate in an Antetokounmpo trade.
The Rockets would afford Brown an opportunity to reunite with his former head coach in Ime Udoka.
Brown is also a native of Atlanta, which have created links to the Hawks over the years.
