Celtics and Hawks had brief talks about Jaylen Brown last offseason

Chris Mannix: I wrote this week about the Atlanta Hawks. Jaylen is a Georgia native. Last offseason, the Celtics and Hawks did have a brief conversation about Jaylen Brown. It didn’t really go anywhere. The Hawks were leery about the size of Brown’s contract, which at the time was, I believe, the richest contract in NBA history. And they weren’t really in a position to go all in. The Celtics were not looking to give Jaylen Brown away, either. So, it didn’t go anywhere. But that’s a team, given what happened this season, that I could see getting interested in Jaylen Brown. Again, the Miamis, the Houstons, Golden State — teams that are theoretically going to be in the mix for Giannis Antetokounmpo — could turn around and make a run at Jaylen Brown. So, I think that situation bears watching.
