Are the Boston Celtics about to trade Jaylen Brown and Derrick White?

Are the Boston Celtics about to trade away star forward Jaylen Brown and point guard Derrick White? There have been increasing rumbles about a big trade going down in the NBA, and speculation has followed that one of Brown or White might be part of a deal that links the Celtics into other major trades as Boston looks to trim salary and prepare for a return to contention status after injured star Jayson Tatum returns to the court in 2026-27.

How realistic is it that the Celtics might actually make such a major (and, frankly, risky) move this offseason? What sort of return would it take for it to make sense for Boston to actually pull the trigger on such a trade?

The folks behind the "NESN" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Boston has entered the Chat" podcast that takes a deep dive into the potentiality of such a move. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say!
