The Celtics continue to explore the trade market for Jaylen Brown after their attempt to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Bucks fell short earlier this week.
According to Brian Windhorst, Boston is actively discussing Brown with multiple teams and expects those conversations to continue as the organization considers reshaping its roster.
“He’s going to get traded,” the analyst said on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike.
Windhorst also noted that while Celtics president Brad Stevens praised Brown during his recent media availability, he never ruled out the possibility of a trade.
“He obviously told him that there was a good chance they’re going to trade him,” Windhorst added.
“It’s not a guarantee that they’re going to find a deal that they like that’s going to improve the team, but I think they are intending to trade him.”
A deal is not considered imminent, with ESPN’s Shams Charania previously reporting that negotiations could extend into July.
Brown also becomes eligible for a two-year, $141.8 million contract extension next month, a factor that could play an important role in any potential trade discussions.
