Trade Rumors: Brown, Ball, LeBron, Morant, Pistons, Herro
Key Points:
- Before acquiring LaMelo Ball from Charlotte, the Timberwolves explored a potential trade for Jaylen Brown with the Celtics but ultimately preferred Ball, partly due to a more reasonable acquisition cost.
- The Celtics continue to engage in trade talks involving Brown, but the star wing has not requested a trade, and some rival executives doubt a deal will happen this offseason.
- The Rockets and Pelicans have inquired about Brown, while Boston has shown interest in New Orleans wing Trey Murphy III.
- The Trail Blazers were also interested in LaMelo Ball before the Hornets finalized his trade to Minnesota.
