The Boston Celtics front office has recently addressed the trade rumors swirling around Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. Vice President of Basketball Operations and Team Counsel Mike Zarren acknowledged that they are open to listening to offers but emphasized that nothing substantial has been considered thus far.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Celtics have been fielding inquiries from various teams in the NBA regarding the availability of Brown and White.

During a media session on Thursday, Zarren responded to questions about the future of Brown and White. He clarified that there have been no imminent talks about trading either player, although they are willing to entertain offers that may come their way.
Zarren stated, “Those two guys are really, really great players, and there hasn’t been anything close to seriously trading them. I’m not sure where all that reporting came from.”
As the situation continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how the Celtics navigate the trade landscape with Brown and White. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
