The idea of Jaylen Brown possibly requesting a trade was a popular topic of conversation over the offseason when it was reported that the Boston Celtics included him in a proposal to the Nets for Kevin Durant. Brown responded to that rumor on Twitter with a simple tweet that made it obvious that he wasn’t pleased.

For a team that made an incredible run to the NBA Finals a month before, it seemed as if the Celtics were at risk of ruining their relationship with one of their star guards. Once KD decided to remain with the Nets, the trade talk quieted down and things seemed to be fine in Boston. Well, that was until Ime Udoka was suspended before the start of training camp. Joe Mazzulla took over for Udoka, and he’s guided the Celtics to an 8-3 start.

Brown is averaging a second-best 25.4 points per game for the Celtics, behind Jayson Tatum’s 31.2 points. That duo is one of the best in the league.

The 26-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2024 when he’ll be 28, and right now, things are going swell in Boston. Nonetheless, the Knicks front office needs to keep an eye on Brown in case things begin to unravel.
