Summary
CBS writer Sam Quinn said Atlanta now has the clearest post-draft framework for a Jaylen Brown deal, with first-round pick Kingston Flemings the rookie most likely to be included.
Flemings' selection matters because newly drafted players can still be moved after draft night, keeping Brown trade scenarios alive even though no deal happened before the draft.
Quinn argued Boston could value Flemings' speed in a backcourt that already includes Derrick White and Payton Pritchard, though he said Atlanta would need to add much more for a player of Brown's caliber.
The Clippers were cited as another Brown-linked team, with rookie Keaton Wagler likely required because of limited assets, while other rumored suitors such as the Pelicans, Blazers and Rockets did not draft Tuesday.
