Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said Tuesday night that star forward Jaylen Brown remains a 'big part of us' and is 'valued' by the organization, amid reported trade talks for the player.
The statement from Stevens came in response to media inquiries about the status of Brown, who has been the subject of trade speculation in recent weeks. Stevens did not provide further details about the team's specific plans or timeline for any potential trade but emphasized that Brown is considered an important asset to the Celtics.
The comments were reported by ESPN and ESPN Australia, both of which described the situation in similar terms. The outlets noted that the remarks were made in the context of ongoing speculation about Brown's future with the team, though no official trade offers or negotiations have been confirmed.
Stevens' remarks are the latest in a series of public comments from Celtics leadership about the team's roster and strategy. The organization has not indicated whether it is actively pursuing a trade for Brown or if the speculation is based on external sources.
The Celtics have not released any additional statements about the situation. As of now, the team has not confirmed any trade discussions or outlined a specific strategy for the remainder of the season.
