The Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes may be over, but the questions surrounding Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics are only getting louder.<\/p>\n
Boston reportedly entered the race for Antetokounmpo with an offer centered around Brown and two first-round picks.<\/p>\n
However, Milwaukee ultimately accepted Miami\u2019s package, which reportedly included four first-round selections, a second-round pick and multiple players, including Tyler Herro.<\/p>\n
Even with Antetokounmpo now headed to South Beach, Brown\u2019s future in Boston remains far from certain.<\/p>\n
Shortly before the blockbuster deal became official, the C\u2019s star posted a message on Twitch that quickly caught the attention of NBA fans.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo all the people that\u2019s doubted me, that want me to do this, or want me, you\u2019re turning me into a monster,\u201d Brown said<\/a>.<\/p>\n After Giannis went to Miami, Shams Charania spoke about the awkward situation in Boston. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe Celtics and <\/span>Jaylen<\/span> Brown<\/span> will have hard conversations moving forward about the fallout from a trade that didn\u2019t happen \u2026 I\u2019ve had a few people tell me last night, you\u2019ve gotta get a deal done if you\u2019re the Celtics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Following Tuesday\u2019s NBA Draft, of which there were reports that Brown president of basketball operations Brad Stevens addressed the JB trade rumors, \u00a0\u201cJaylen Brown is a big part of us \u2026 Obviously, you never know. The one thing I want to make very clear is how valued he\u2019s always been \u2026 I don\u2019t want to predict the future but I look at it as, this is our team.\u201d<\/p>\n Brown has previously spoken about feeling overlooked throughout his career despite his accomplishments. That frustration appeared again over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n Despite winning both Eastern Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP during Boston\u2019s championship run, Brown was left off Team USA\u2019s roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n He responded with arguably the best season of his career.<\/p>\n With Jayson Tatum appearing in only 16 games while recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon, Brown averaged career highs of 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists while finishing sixth in MVP voting.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Giannis Antetokounmpo Sweepstakes Near End<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
