Trade discussions between the Charlotte Hornets and Boston Celtics regarding Jaylen Brown have reportedly slowed down, according to HoopsHype. The Hornets, looking to add a star player, may not pursue Brown after previously showing interest, especially given the high financial demands of his contract. Last season, Brown averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists, finishing sixth in MVP voting. The Hornets may hold off on a significant acquisition until the right opportunity arises, as trade options appear limited this offseason.
