>One of the biggest storylines of the NBA offseason is Jaylen Brown's future with the Boston Celtics, and it seems they are more likely to trade him than to keep him.

>The main question now is which team would be interested in acquiring Brown and whether they would be willing to meet the Celtics' asking price. There is a team that appears to be in the lead to land the star guard.

>Sam Amick from The Athletic stated that the Portland Trail Blazers seem to be the "frontrunners" to land Brown.

>"(The Celtics, per league sources, have been asking for up to four first-round picks; Portland is seen as the frontrunner there)," Amick wrote on Sunday.

>It would be interesting to see what kind of package the Trail Blazers would offer to land Brown. The Trail Blazers have a handful of first-round picks, both from their own selection and from the Bucks, whom they received when they traded Damian Lillard to Milwaukee in the fall of 2023.

>The Celtics might not get any proven NBA star players in return, but they could land a handful of draft picks to build their future.
