Celtics Seek 4 First-Round Picks for Jaylen Brown as 3 Years Remain on Supermax

Summary
At least four first-round picks is the price Boston has asked some teams for Jaylen Brown, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, setting a high bar in active trade talks.
Brown's leverage comes from contract control: he still has three years left on his supermax deal, making it unclear which team would meet that valuation or how quickly Boston must act.
Trade urgency may instead hinge on Brown's stance after the Celtics' recent efforts to include him in a Giannis Antetokounmpo pursuit, a move that helped turn league interest into a real market.
Boston's steep ask suggests the Celtics are testing whether a bidding war can deliver a franchise-level return rather than moving an All-NBA wing at a discount after their early playoff exit.
