NOT a NBA Insider but I gather news. #nextafternext..

The Boston Celtics are listening, engaging, and discussing trades with multiple teams centered around Jaylen Brown RIGHT NOW hours before the NBA Draft, per @ShamsCharania on NBA Today.

Latest on Jaylen Brown, per @ShamsCharania: "As we're hours away from the NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics have started to listen, engage, and discuss trades around Jaylen Brown."

The Miami Heat are now potentially looking to trade Nikola Jović, per @TheSteinLine & @JakeLFischer “It has also been suggested that Miami could look now to move Nikola Jović to try to acquire some shooting to help space the floor for Antetokounmpo and his new frontcourt sidekick Bam Adebayo.” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)


Anfernee Simons is a name to watch for the Miami Heat, per @BobbyMarks42 "I think keep an eye on one name, Anfernee Simons. He's a free agent out there. If he's basically willing to go for the vet min and play out the year to restore his value, he'd fit in perfectly with this team"

The Pistons have interest in Norman Powell (per @JakeLFischer ) and have the cap space to bid more than what Miami can (if Wiggins stays) because the Heat has a $209 M hard cap. But there are plenty of other SG options, including Coby White, Simons, Grimes, Hardaway Jr., Duncan (if Pistons don't guarantee his deal). Again, it would be helpful if Wiggins opts out and does a 3 year deal starting at, say, 22 M, compared to one year, $30 M. The $22 M scenario would give Heat $27 million under hard cap to use on Powell or a free agent/free agents (plus minimums and 2nd rounder).
