The Houston Rockets have been linked to All-NBA wing Jaylen Brown for the second time, as the team looks to bolster its roster ahead of the new season. There's belief around the league that Jaylen Brown could be an alpha dog on his own squad. And so, we do have Houston, Portland, Atlanta as teams that we are monitoring for potential Jaylen Brown suitors. Of course, the Rockets have Ime Udoka, their head coach who coached Jaylen in Boston and took him to the Finals in 2022. Fischer noted that the Atlanta Hawks are interested in Brown, as are the New Orleans Pelicans. He also mentioned the Portland Trail Blazers as a potential suitor, as they've had interest in Brown since Damian Lillard's first stint with the franchise. However, it doesn't exactly sound like a certainty that the Celtics will deal Brown. We don't know if Boston is even gonna fully entertain this, stated Fischer, while noting that teams will still be contacting Boston. Until we hear that Boston is engaging in trade talk, all this stuff is just going to be teams calling to see, as opposed to anything else. Fischer added that just because Boston Celtics front office executive Brad Stevens has stated that all is well with Brown, along with Brown saying much of the same, teams are still going to be after Brown. Jaylen Brown has come out and said that he wants to be in Boston for the next 10 years. Brad Stevens has said that they've been in touch with Jaylen and everything is honky dory there. But I'll tell you, he is someone that clearly proved he could be an alpha in his own right. He already won Finals MVP two years ago. This is the second such report that we've heard linking the Rockets to Brown. We'll have to see if anything materializes or if Brown is dealt at all.
