Celtics discuss deal with Rockets Jaylen Brown

The Celtics intend to send Jaylen Brown to the Rockets and proposed a trading plan:

The Celtics send Jaylen Brown and the 28th pick in the first round of 2025, and obtained Jaylen Green, Whitmore, Landael, Holiday, and the 10th pick in the first round of 2025, the 27th round of Suns and the 28th round of the Rockets. The

The Celtics asked the Rockets to the Rockets basically the Rockets offered Durant's chips and exchanged Durant's chips for the younger Jaylen Brown. The Rockets are not losing money. Compared with the 37-year-old Durant, the 29-year-old Jaylen Brown is in the peak of his career, and Jaylen Brown is also a point guard that the Rockets need to strengthen. The reason why the Celtics are willing to trade Brown is that the team has a poor record this season's playoffs and the team is looking to lower their salary, while Brown and Tatum's two contracts of more than 50 million yuan locked the salary space.

The partnership between Brown and Uduka gives the Rockets the motivation to make this deal. Brown is more defensive than Jaylen Green. Brown, as the champion guard, can bring more changes to the Rockets.
