rewrite this title “Jaylen Brown would end it all if he got traded there”: NBA Fans React to Pelicans Reportedly Chasing 2024 Finals MVP in Massive Move 

With the 2025-26 NBA season nearing its end, trade rumors are beginning to surface as teams gear up for a busy offseason. One such report involving Jaylen Brown emerged on Tuesday, with the 2024 Finals MVP reportedly on the New Orleans Pelicans’ radar for a potential blockbuster move.

Journalist Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson was the first to report on the potential move, with Fullcourtpass later sharing the details on X (formerly Twitter).

“IF the Pelicans aggressively pursue Jaylen Brown, the blueprint for their blockbuster trade offer would center directly around the following, per @ScoopB: Dejounte Murray -Trey Murphy III – Significant draft capital,” Fullcourtpass captioned the tweet.

With Brown coming off one of his best seasons in the NBA, his demand has significantly increased, with the star showcasing his ability to lead a team after guiding the Celtics to the playoffs in Jayson Tatum’s absence.

However, while the proposed trade has generated buzz, many fans believe a player of Brown’s caliber would be reluctant to join the Pelicans.

While many believed Brown would be against the trade, others quipped that the Celtics would never even entertain such an offer.

With Boston having already created cap flexibility last summer by moving on from Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, the franchise remains well-positioned to retain its core.

Additionally, midseason additions like Nikola Vucevic and Dalano Banton have strengthened the roster, leaving the Celtics just a few pieces short of another title push and moving Brown would likely derail those ambitions.

While Trey Murphy III and Dejounte Murray offer quality depth, they do not match the impact of a Finals MVP-caliber player, making the trade rumor appear more speculative than realistic.

NBA insider claims Boston may not even “entertain” an offer for Jaylen Brown following Pelicans interest

The rumors surrounding Jaylen Brown’s Celtics future continue to grow, with the New Orleans Pelicans becoming the fourth team linked with the superstar. The Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, and Portland Trail Blazers had previously been connected to the guard, and New Orleans’ interest only adds to the speculation around his future.

However, NBA insider Jake Fischer believes the Celtics may not even “entertain” the Pelicans’ interest, with Brown still viewed as a key piece of the franchise..

“The Pelicans have been mentioned by various league executives with Jaylen Brown interest, as well,” Fischer said. “We don’t know if Boston is even going to fully entertain this at the end of the day. But that doesn’t mean these teams are going to call and are going to try.”

Despite skepticism over Boston’s willingness to engage in trade talks, Brown remains a highly sought-after player, with multiple teams expected to test the Celtics’ resolve as they prepare for the upcoming season.
