@celticslife No NBA team in history tried to trade their finals MVP ever, you just made history. @FCHWPO

The Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks are expected to be at the front of the line in the Jaylen Brown sweepstakes, per @basketballtalk “If Brown becomes available, look for Houston and Atlanta to be at the front of the line for him, with a number of other teams — Portland has said it’s interested — in the mix. The challenge will be matching his salary, which is $57.1 million next season and totals about $183 million over the next three years. Brown is coming off his best season as a pro, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.” (Via nbcsports.com/nba/news/jayle…)

The Celtics were unwilling to include players like Baylor Scheierman and Hugo González in a trade package for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @ShamsCharania

Anthony Edwards has been frustrated since Karl-Anthony Towns was traded, per @WindhorstESPN @BannedMacMahon: “The NBA vultures are swirling around Ant in anticipation of him potentially becoming the next superstar who's available in the trade market” 👀 (h/t @TheNBABase)

Becky Hammon says she’s not apologizing to Jalen Brunson “Jalen, all he did was prove history wrong. He proves he’s an outlier, so you can put his name next to Steph Curry and Isiah Thomas, and I thought he played brilliantly, especially down the stretch. I mean, he was that 1A dude, but apologize? I’m never gonna apologize for having an opinion. That’s what ESPN pays me for.” (Via @madkenney )

The Celtics took a "good hard look at themselves" after realizing that their team wouldn’t compete with the Knicks after seeing their championship run. (via @WindhorstESPN)
