Bidding war for Jaylen Brown is coming

Key Points:

• The Celtics included Jaylen Brown in trade offers for both Kevin Durant in 2022 and Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2024 but lost out on both players, with the Nets acquiring Durant and the Heat landing Antetokounmpo.
• Boston's repeated willingness to trade Brown, their co-star and 2024 Finals MVP, has sparked concerns about potential fallout and strained relationships within the team.
• Other NBA teams are expected to show strong interest in Brown, potentially triggering a bidding war, as Boston publicly exposed his availability in pursuit of Antetokounmpo.
• The Bucks accepted a package from Miami including Tyler Herro, young players, and multiple draft picks, while the Celtics were unwilling to part with enough young assets and picks to meet Milwaukee's demands.
• Despite patching things up after the Durant trade, the Celtics now face uncertainty about their future with Brown following the latest trade rumors and failed Antetokounmpo pursuit.
