The Boston Celtics are reportedly taking calls on Jaylen Brown, but he is not the only star player available right now.

Brown trade rumors have been prevalent since the end of the Celtics' season, starting with rumors involving Giannis Antetokounmpo. Now that Antetokounmpo is with the Miami Heat, other teams are trying to make a play for Brown. The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the teams that have reportedly registered interest in him.

According to ESPN's Vincent Goodwill, an executive has said that the Clippers "want Brown bad." It would make sense that the Clippers would be in on Brown. They traded away James Harden last season and are reportedly in talks to send Kawhi Leonard back to the Toronto Raptors.

According to NBA insider Shams Charania, the Raptors and the Clippers are "seriously engaged in trade talks surrounding Kawhi Leonard." Leonard has one year left on his deal, and Charania reported that Toronto is the only team he would be willing to commit to long term.

If the Clippers do send Leonard back to the city he brought a championship to, they could use a player like Brown to lead them. It's unclear what the Clippers are willing to give up, but it will take a haul to actually get Brown out of Boston.
