Turn to Jaylen Brown? If the Celtics trade core players, the Rockets may be most interested in them

On May 14, 2025, the NBA playoffs continued, and the Celtics are currently lagging behind 1:3 in the big score. If the playoffs are eliminated this season, the team should really consider whether they will make adjustments in the offseason. Previously, the famous reporter Shams talked about the Celtics in the live broadcast, saying that according to people familiar with the matter, regardless of whether the Celtics win or lose this season, whether Tatum is injured or not, the Celtics originally planned to adjust the roster in the upcoming offseason, and Tatum's injury will create more possibilities.

Then famous reporter Spears reported that if the Celtics trade core players, the Rockets and the Spurs are two teams worth paying attention to. Indeed, the teams with the greatest potential and the most bargaining chips in the league are the Rockets and Spurs. Whether it is Antetokounmpo, Zion, or the Celtics, the Rockets and Spurs may be good next players.

For the Rockets, if Antetokounmpo cannot come to the team and the team's lineup lacks a core star, Jaylen Brown seems to be the better choice. You should know that Jaylen Brown was the biggest contributor to the Celtics' championship last season. He has been proven to be a star who can play in the playoffs. Once Jaylen Brown joins, the team will have a very significant improvement on both ends of the offense and defense.

So for the Rockets, even if Jaylen Brown has a high salary, it is acceptable. Next, it depends on how the team's management operates. If this star can be obtained, the Rockets will be very worth looking forward to next season.
