Jordan Walsh became close with Jaylen Brown this year & started wearing @741Performance: “Very strong-willed individual, definitely very opinionated, but when it came down to his core beliefs of giving back to the community and basketball being the main focus, I agreed.” pic.x.com/tavPQzhggQ – 2:40 PM

The Celtics CAN be done now. They’ve ducked the second apron. However, I imagine they’d still be open to dealing Hauser into someone’s mid-level. At that point, ducking the tax entirely is in play, especially if someone bowls you over for Derrick White and/or Jaylen Brown. – 7:00 PM

More on this storyline
“The biggest challenge for our team is our first-team All-NBA player is in a boot,” Stevens said. “We know that going into next year. Everything else is second to that on how we build, grow, and improve as much as we can. I said when I sat down in front of everybody a few weeks ago, my goal is to compete for championships. There will be inevitably a lot that goes into being in the mix for those. “We have to prioritize the health of those two guys [Tatum and Jaylen Brown] and at the same time make sure we’re regaining some of our flexibility.” -via Boston Globe / June 26, 2025
Andy Larsen: Austin Ainge said there’s no truth to the rumors that the Jazz have held discussions about Jaylen Brown over the last few days. -via x.com / June 26, 2025
Ian Begley: Celtics touched base today with teams, including San Antonio (No. 14), on deals that would land a lottery pick in tonight’s draft. (Obviously San Antonio is not moving its No. 2 overall pick). As others have reported, BOS has been getting offers for Sam Hauser and listening to offers for Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. -via x.com / June 25, 2025
NBA Central: Several teams in the top 10 of the draft have been making trade offers for Jaylen Brown and Derrick White, per @WindhorstESPN -via x.com / June 25, 2025
The Celtics, aiming to reduce their luxury tax bill for next season, are now listening to offers for both Brown and White, according to Shams Charania on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt. “It means that phone lines are ringing in Boston,” Charania said. “My understanding is that the Celtics are getting offers called on both Jaylen Brown and Derrick White.” -via Clutch Points / June 25, 2025
