There’s also a potential backstop emerging for Boston’s Jaylen Brown trade discussions. Detroit is very much weighing the prospect of signing-and-trading restricted free agent Jalen Duren for Brown, sources say, among other conceptual outcomes, if that option remains available for the Pistons once free agency opens on Tuesday early evening.
We have it all @TheSteinLine: https://t.co/uIsp7HnGkC
The Trail Blazers are showing significant trade interest in Jaylen Brown, per @ShamsCharania.
With Brown under contract for three more years, Portland wouldn’t be worried about a rental like they were with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Boston Celtics are demanding at least FOUR first-round picks in any potential trade for Jaylen Brown, per @ShamsCharania

Jalen Duren plans to explore sign-and-trade scenarios after contract negotiations have stalled out with the Pistons, per @sam_amick (https://t.co/bGbfYhcZEs).
There is a large enough gap in value from Duren’s camp and Detroit where he feels like it’s best to now play elsewhere.
.@ByJayKing says he’s heard today alone several “mystery” teams have already expressed interest in Jaylen Brown (teams he wouldn’t have expected to show interest)
Understandably didn’t list those suitors, but says there is a serious market for Brown

.@JakeLFischer latest on Jaylen Brown- Celtics
“Boston is very much moving forward in the market with the thought that they don’t have to trade Jaylen Brown..I don’t believe at this juncture that the Celtics want to move Brown unless it makes them better.”
Some of the mainstream reactions to this LaMelo trade are shocking. It’s a pretty underwhelming “sell high” of a 24-year-old All-Star coming off a career-best season — even with all his concerns — and a totally reasonable big swing for a team that clearly had reached its ceiling.
@SwishStreet@JrueLFG As of June 25, 2026 at 3:11 PM, Brown has never once gone to Stevens and asked for a trade, and I’d bet my life on it, that’s how good of authority we have.
Raptors get: Kawhi Leonard
Celtics get Brandon Ingram, Jakob Poeltl and future first from Raptors
Clippers get: Jaylen Brown, future first from Raptors.
Celtics fans about to hate me for this 😂😂😂😂
