Celtics explore trade options for Jaylen Brown ahead of free agency

On June 30, the Boston Celtics are active in trade talks as NBA free agency approaches. Following their first-round playoff exit after leading the 76ers 3-1, the team is seeking to improve its roster. Reports indicate that the market for Jaylen Brown is not robust, prompting the Celtics to potentially lower their asking price. Boston has also begun extending offers, shifting from merely receiving to proactively negotiating, as they assess their options regarding Brown's future. Free agency begins tonight at 6 p.m. ET, with the Celtics having already exercised options on players Dalano Banton, Neemias Queta, and Jordan Walsh.
