Boston Celtics Receive: C Myles Turner, G/F Buddy Hield, 2023 First-Round Pick (IND), 2025 First-Round Pick (IND), 2027 First-Round Pick (IND)

Indiana Pacers Receive: G/F Jaylen Brown, F/C Al Horford

In the age of information, NBA teams have to adjust how they do business. Discretion is more important than ever.

With that in mind, it’s unfortunate that reports leaked that indicated that the Celtics were willing to include Jaylen Brown in a package to land Kevin Durant. Now, Brown realizes that the organization views him as expendable.

In fact, his recent “SMH” tweet can likely be interpreted as frustration with that fact. Once again: we’re in the age of information. Brown knows where the Celtics stand, and he let them know where he stands in turn.

Granted, this is Kevin Durant we’re talking about. The Celtics did not make Brown available in a trade for Myles Turner, Buddy Hield, and picks.

With that said, in the event that Brown is now unhappy in Boston, they may suddenly have an incentive to deal him.

Are they getting enough back from the Pacers here?
