Report: Jaylen Brown Frustrated With Celtics Amid Trade Rumors originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Jaylen Brown trade rumors aren't slowing down, and according to The Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach, the chatter is beginning to bother the former NBA Finals MVP.
"League sources said that the Celtics have continued to field calls from teams interested in trading for Brown. A league source said that Brown has grown frustrated with the organization’s approach following a season in which he guided the Celtics to 56 wins while Jayson Tatum was sidelined for months with an Achilles injury," the Celtics insider said.
Himmelsbach's Monday night report came one week after he wrote that "there does not appear to be friction" between Brown and the team, despite the trade buzz.
Of course, that was soon before Boston fell short in their pursuit of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, with the Celtics reportedly offering a Brown-centered package in exchange for the "Greek Freak."
Since then, multiple possible suitors for Brown have made other blockbuster trades that could take them out of contention for the five-time All-Star.
The Minnesota Timberwolves recently completed a trade to acquire 2021 NBA Rookie of the Year LaMelo Ball, while the Portland Trail Blazers landed 2020 NBA Rookie of the Year Ja Morant in a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday.
There are still others that could be interested in Brown, but the list of potential fits is shrinking.
