Over the past few days, there have been numerous reports about which teams are interested in trading for Jaylen Brown. <\/p>\n

Boston is reportedly taking calls about the five-time All-Star. ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania said Boston has been asking certain teams for at least four first-round picks. <\/p>\n

However, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that a combination of picks and players wouldn\u2019t get the job done. <\/p>\n

From an Eastern Conference contender to a Western Conference foe with familiar faces, heres a look at which teams have been keeping tabs on Brown and what has reportedly been offered. <\/p>\n

Portland Trailblazers<\/p>\n

Charania said<\/a> most of the Celtics\u2019 conversations have been with Western Conference teams.<\/p>\n

Portland snuck into the playoffs as a No. 7 seed this season, but wasn\u2019t able to do much in the first round against the Spurs, losing in five games. <\/p>\n

The Trail Blazers have a pair of former Celtics on the roster in Jrue Holiday and Robert Williams III. Damian Lillard is coming off a ruptured Achilles tendon, but had been one of the NBA\u2019s most productive scorers at the time of his injury. <\/p>\n

Portland is also team that has the kind of combination of young players and draft picks that could entice the Celtics, Charania said. <\/p>\n

\u201cPortland has been a team that has interest in Jaylen Brown,\u201d Charania said during a recent appearance on \u201cGet Up!\u201d. \u201cThey had interest in LaMelo Ball. They had interest in Giannis Antetokounmpo. They are a team that has a ton of draft capital. They\u2019ve got a ton of young talent on this team. Could they make an offer?\u201d<\/p>\n

Detroit Pistons<\/p>\n

NBA Insiders Jake Fischer and Marc Stein both said they wouldn\u2019t rule out Detroit making a play for Brown involving a sign and trade with center Jalen Duren. <\/p>\n

Boston could use front-court help, and pairing Brown with Cade Cunningham could be an intriguing move for Detroit. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also a potential backstop emerging for Boston\u2019s Jaylen Brown trade discussions,\u201d Fischer wrote on X.<\/a> \u201cDetroit is very much weighing the prospect of signing-and-trading restricted free agent Jalen Duren for Brown, sources say, among other conceptual outcomes, if that option remains available for the Pistons once free agency opens on Tuesday early evening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Minnesota Timberwolves<\/p>\n

Minnesota was looking for a guard to pair with Anthony Edwards. They ended up trading for LaMelo Ball, but Brown\u2019s name had come up beforehand according The Athletic\u2019s Jon<\/a> Krawczynski<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had talks with the Boston Celtics about Jaylen Brown, a team source said,\u201d Krawczynski wrote of the Timberwolves. \u201cBut the Celtics were looking for a package including Gobert, Reid and similar pick compensation that went to Charlotte for Ball, team sources said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat was just too much for the Wolves to pay for a soon-to-be 30-year-old forward who, while being a better overall player than Ball, wasn\u2019t as clean a fit next to Edwards.\u201d<\/p>\n
