Nets show interest in trading for Celtics' Jaylen Brown

The Brooklyn Nets have expressed interest in acquiring Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, according to a report by Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. This comes after a disappointing 2025-26 season for the Nets, who finished with a 20-62 record, prompting attempts to improve ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft where they hold the sixth overall pick. Brown, who had a standout season averaging 28.7 points per game, is seen as a potential trade candidate following failed negotiations between the Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks. The Nets, who nearly traded for Brown in 2023, may leverage their future first-round picks and players like Michael Porter Jr. to make a deal work. As the offseason progresses, rumors around Brown's future with the Celtics are likely to intensify.
