The Boston Celtics are demanding at least FOUR first-round picks in any potential trade for Jaylen Brown, per @ShamsCharania
(Via @GetUpESPN, h/t @TheNBABase)
The Timberwolves now don’t control their own 1st round picks until 2034:
2027: Rudy Gobert trade
2028: Hornets swap (LaMelo Ball)
2029: Top-5 protected (Gobert)
2030: Charlotte swap
2031: Rob Dillingham draft night trade
2032: Charlotte swap
2033: Charlotte
Completely all-in.
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
The Timberwolves are making Jaden McDaniels off limits in trade discussions for LaMelo Ball while also preferring to keep Donte DiVincenzo and Naz Reid, per @TheSteinLine
Minnesota interest in LaMelo is “undeniably serious”
