Jaylen Brown Could be on The Move From Celtics - Here Are 3 Possible Teams

Jaylen Brown arguably had his best season ever in the NBA this past season with the Boston Celtics, and it might be his last in Beantown.

As tensions between Brown and Boston seem more apparent by the day, with his rogue livestreams following losses to his online spats with pundits like Stephen A. Smith, we might be heading towards a massive trade in the offseason.

But where could the All-Star go?

Here are three possible destinations for the enigmatic Brown.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks are desperate. They want to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo in Wisconsin and seem to be ready to do anything imaginable to find him a co-star that keeps him from looking elsewhere for his next contract.

Brown would certainly be a huge addition for the Bucks, but do they have anything the Celtics would want in return? While I don’t think Boston wants Kyle Kuzma, that 2031 unprotected first-round pick could intrigue a franchise always looking to keep competitive into the future, especially with the new CBA.

Golden State Warriors

Like the Bucks, the Warriors are in a mode where they will do anything imaginable to help Steph Curry contend for another ring. Golden State knows they’re staring down a long and depressing rebuild when Curry is done, and that bleak future might push them to hamstring their future even more in a Hail Mary to somehow create a formidable roster for the next two years.

Denver Nuggets

What if the Nuggets offered up Jamal Murray for Brown? While Denver might have to add a bit more to sweeten the deal for the Celtics, Murray is arguably the best single player they could get in a deal for Brown that would help them compete directly next season.

The fit with Jokić and Brown might be awkward in Denver, but, like other teams on this list, Denver needs to do something to ensure its former MVP doesn’t sign elsewhere when his deal is up next offseason.
