Summary
DraftKings made Boston the +165 favorite to be Jaylen Brown’s next team, with Charlotte at +500 and Cleveland at +700 as speculation around his future intensified.
Those odds followed reports that the Celtics tried to include Brown in a trade package for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is now headed to Miami, leaving Boston and Brown in an awkward spot.
Brown, 29, is coming off a career-best season — 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists — while earning All-NBA Second Team and finishing sixth in MVP voting.
His contract adds to the stakes: Brown signed a five-year, $285.4 million extension in 2023 and can negotiate another deal from July 26 worth up to two years and $141.9 million.
