[Chris Mannix] “I spent some time this afternoon talking to different teams about what might the Celtics be interested in [for Jaylen Brown]. And the name in the team that came back to me a lot was Evan Mobley in the Cleveland Cavaliers.”
Chris Mannix: Teams are looking to see if Jaylen Brown is truly available and what the asking price for him is going to be. But the Celtics, I believe, are listening to those calls and are thinking up their own trade matches of their own. I spent some time this afternoon talking to different teams about what might the Celtics be interested in. And the name in the team that came back to me a lot was Evan Mobley in the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Evan Mobley, young, big, just entering the prime of his career, former defensive player of the year, just starting a new max contract of his own. Mobley is one of those guys that could fit the archetype of the type of player that the Celtics are looking for.
