"For now, Jaylen Brown is a member of the Boston Celtics. The offer for the Bucks' star, which was reportedly Brown and a pair of first-round draft picks, wasn’t enough to beat Miami’s offer of four first-round picks, a second-round pick and multiple players, including the 2022 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Tyler Herro. On Monday, before Antetokounmpo was ultimately dealt to the Heat, Brown posted a video on Twitch in which he described his mood.
""From what I understand, Jaylen Brown is accepting this and realizes this is a chance to turn the page in his career," said ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
