Celtics Had Two Words for Jaylen Brown Amid Trade Rumors<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Boston Celtics marked a standout 2024-25 season\u2014even with a playoff exit\u2014thanks in part to Jaylen Brown\u2019s all-around excellence. Over 63 regular-season games, Brown averaged 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists, shooting 46.3% from the field and 32.4% from three.<\/p>\n

He also played through a persistent knee impingement late in the season, missing 11 games before undergoing arthroscopic surgery for a partially torn meniscus\u2014an injury that slowed him down but didn\u2019t stop him from impacting games.<\/p>\n

Amid speculation over Boston\u2019s financial flexibility\u2014triggered by Brown\u2019s supermax extension and rising luxury-tax concerns\u2014trade rumors have swirled, including recent reports from Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix<\/a>, claiming that the Celtics might look to move some of its big contracts in the offseason.<\/p>\n

According to Mannix, Brown is among the names teams around the league are eyeing, with the San Antonio Spurs looming as a potential destination should he become available.<\/p>\n

Amid these trade rumors, the Celtics took decisive action to reaffirm Brown\u2019s value. The team took to social media on Wednesday, posting a photo graphic of Brown and his accomplishments this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAppreciate greatness,\u201d the Celtics captioned the post.<\/p>\n

A core member of the storied franchise since being selected third overall in 2016, Brown signed a five-year, $304 million supermax in 2023\u2014the largest NBA contract ever at the time. Now, with Tatum likely sidelined for the 2025-26 season due to Achilles surgery, Boston\u2019s need to retain its top two-two punch is pressing.<\/p>\n

While the rumors continue to grow, Brown\u2019s consistent production on the court makes him arguably more indispensable than ever, considering Tatum\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n
