If former Boston Celtics center and current analyst Kendrick Perkins is correct in his recalling of how a certain conversation of his with the last President of Basketball Operations of the Celtics went, rumors of Boston All-Star forward Jaylen Brown being part of trade talks with the Houston Rockets were perhaps a bit less serious than some fans might have thought.
The champion big man recently related he’d spoken with then-team president Danny Ainge about a potential Brown-for-Harden swap last season when the possibility of such a move was still in the cards ahead of his eventual trade to the Brooklyn Nets.
“I remember last year around this time when teams were calling about James Harden and Houston actually wanted Jaylen Brown,” Perkins said on a recent episode of NBC Sports Boston’s “Celtics Pregame Live” show (h/t NBC’s Justin Leger).
Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka cited the team’s 25 turnovers and the Raptor’s offensive board proficiency for the loss Friday. https://t.co/WtlR8td6A6
