Throughout the summer, the Houston Rockets<\/a> have been linked<\/a> to Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown, as rumors surfaced about a potential reunion between him and Rockets coach Ime Udoka.<\/p>\n

However, although initial reports indicated interest, it appears as though the Rockets could be moving in another direction. According to<\/a> Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Houston has been described as “not in the mix” for the five-time NBA All-Star and former NBA champion.<\/p>\n

In the absence of Jayson Tatum last season, Brown had a career year, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and one steal. As a result, Brown made the All-NBA second team and finished sixth in NBA MVP voting. While Brown’s two-way talent is undeniable, he’d come at a hefty price. To complicate matters even further, the remaining three years and $183 million on his contract would be quite pricey to try and build around.<\/p>\n
