The proposal was rejected, and Brooklyn has asked Boston - in any proposal - to include Brown, Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, draft picks, and potentially one more rotation player, those sources added,” Charania wrote. “The Celtics offered Brown, guard Derrick White and a draft pick to the Nets for Durant, sources said. The counter that Charania mentioned involved having the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year in on the proposal. “The Boston Celtics have offered a Jaylen Brown package to the Nets for Kevin Durant, which Brooklyn turned down and countered,” Shams Charania of The Athletic tweeted. With the Celtics being the possible frontrunner in any deals with the Nets, let’s look at possible proposed deals. The Boston Celtics have been reported to be the closest because of their ability to include an All-Star in Jaylen Brown in the deal, and the Nets are reported to wanting Marcus Smart to be included in the deal.
