Multiple league sources were adamant to MassLive.com that the Celtics have no interest in moving the All-Star Brown in the interim, particularly with him under team control for two more seasons at a below-market deal. 76ers general manager Daryl Morey has always aimed high in trade negotiations throughout his career but this is posturing will likely go nowhere given what’s happened to Simmons’ trade value over the past several months in the midst of his holdout.

· Would the Celtics ever trade Jaylen Brown for Ben Simmons?
· Is Steph Curry the MVP favorite?

Celtics will stick with Dennis Schroder in starting lineup while Jaylen Brown is out.
Smart/Schroder combo this season: +8.7 net rating in 367 possessions per Cleaning the Glass. That’s 84th percentile among all lineups with 100+ possessions. – 12:17 PM

Ime Udoka said Dennis Schroder will continue to start while Jaylen Brown is out.
That likely puts Boston’s regular opening group as:
R. Williams
A. Horford
J. Tatum
M. Smart
D. Schroder
Should leave minutes for Pritchard and at least one of Langford and Nesmith. – 12:15 PM

If Jaylen Brown misses two full weeks from the date of injury, that puts him at 11/18. Lakers come to town on 11/19.
Boston’s next five games are against East teams that have equal or better record so far. – 12:20 PM

Front offices always do their due diligence when it comes to potential trades, so it’s not wildly surprising that Boston has spoken to Philly about Ben Simmons.
That being said, the Sixers asking price is likely too high for Boston. Don’t see the Celtics moving Jaylen Brown. – 10:10 AM

More on this storyline
Speaking last Friday on Celtics pregame live, the former NBA player recalled the conversation when trade talks were buzzing around the league which centers around the superstar. “I remember last year around this time when teams were calling about James Harden and Houston actually wanted Jaylen Brown,” Perkins said on the segment. “I was on the phone with Danny Ainge for an hour, and I remember how our conversation went. He was like, ‘Hey, Perk, would you trade Jaylen Brown for James Harden?’ And I was like, ‘Danny, you know how I feel about Jaylen Brown, but I would trade him for James Harden.’ He was like, ‘ Are you kidding me? He’s not going anywhere. He’s not even 25 and he keeps getting better.’ -via TalkBasket / October 25, 2021
