Here are the real trading intentions of the Celtics in the upcoming wonderful offseason about stars Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

The Boston Celtics are surrounded by trade rumors surrounding the team's star players, and there is no doubt that the names of Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been speculated. With Tatum’s season-ending injury reimbursement with the Celtics was the fuse for a lot of rumors, the latest report from ClutchPoints reporter Brett Segal cemented the team’s view on the pair of dynamic duo.

There have been rumors that the Boston Celtics are undergoing some form of sale to improve their financial situation, as players such as Derek White, Christapus Porzingis, Ju Holiday are also being discussed in addition to Tatum and Brown. However, there is no doubt that the team regards Tatum and Brown as the cornerstone of the team and will not “give them”.

"The Celtics' future remains bright. Whatever decisions Stevens and management make to restructure the roster, Tatum is still 27 and Brown is 28," Siegel wrote. “These two players are the foundation for Boston’s current and future success. While NBA fans like to fan the flames by proposing their own trading plans and ideas, league sources confirmed to ClutchPoints that neither Tatum nor Brown will leave Boston in the summer.”

"As for the upcoming decisions, Stevens is focused on continuing to find ways to reshape the Celtics’ championship path,” Siegel continued. "Just because Tatum was injured, he is likely to miss the All-Star Game until 2026, which does not mean that Boston will intentionally retreat." The Celtics believe that the "incompetent" star with Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown

In addition to Tatum and Brown, Celtics guard Derek White is also related to the deal negotiations in the basketball world, but he may continue to stay with the team. Siegel also pointed out in his latest intelligence article that White, like Tatum and Brown, is an "indispensable core player."

"Boston believes that White is an indispensable core player, just like Tatum and Brown," Siegel wrote. "That's why Stevens needs a pretty high offer to consider this idea. Never say forever, because after the Luca Doncic trade, everything is possible in the league, but White is not considered a player who will be forced to trade with salary sell-offs."

In any case, Boston's performance in the offseason remains to be seen, but it is undeniable that their intention is to continue to compete for the championship, as Brad Stevens said in an ESPN report.
