Where does Jaylen Brown get traded if he really wants out?

It may not be a one-way street, since Brown is 29 and Boston obv gets a ton of flexibility if it moves off his max contract.

The top candidates off the top of my hand:

- Houston for Amen Thompson if they go all-in and don’t want to pay him (and keep Udoka)

- Orlando for Franz Wagner and Jonathan Isaac (good culture fit)

- New Orleans for Zion and Jeremiah Fears (sleeper pick)

His market will be there but tbh I feel like it would have been far more robust a year ago before some contenders pushed their chips in. For instance, I don’t think the Spurs would go for him now. I even doubt the Hornets would if it meant trading Miller, or the Blazers, etc.
