Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach
According to the source, Brooklyn initially tried to pry both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown from Boston. That proposal went nowhere, of course. The source confirmed recent reports that Brooklyn later shifted its focus to a deal centered on Brown, Marcus Smart, and a massive haul of future first-round draft picks. But the Celtics were not interested.”

It goes without saying Tatum is untouchable. The Celtics reportedly offered Brown, Derrick White and a first-round pick, and the negotiations progressed from there. Himmelsbach also confirmed that there is no real traction in talks right now. The concern for Boston in all this is alienating Brown, who was not happy to see his name come up in trade talks.

Ian Begley (on Kevin Durant trade)
Durant sees Boston as a desired landing spot, per people familiar with the matter. Durant also would like to play with Boston’s Marcus Smart if he is traded to the Celtics, per people familiar with the matter… It is unknown if Boston and Brooklyn have made progress on a deal. SNY reported last week that there had been pessimism about a Durant trade being completed in the near future.

Kurt Helin (on Kevin Durant trade)
Despite Durant’s best efforts, things likely stay quiet on the trade front until it gets closer to training camp in September. The big question then becomes, are Tsai and GM Sean Marks willing to be uncomfortable — Will they wait out a Durant offer they think is fair like Daryl Morey did with Ben Simmons last season, or will they cave and trade KD just to get something and move on? We will find out in a month or so.

Nick Wright (on Kevin Durant trade)
“Philly doesn't have draft picks. New Orleans & Boston — there are only 2 teams in the league that have the assets to trade for Kevin Durant & once trading those assets would still be a contender.”
