Celtics Keep Jayson Tatum as Core After Brown Trade

Celtics Reassure Tatum Remains Non‑Negotiable

The Boston Celtics have made clear that Jayson Tatum is not on the trading block despite sending Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers. After the Brown deal, several teams reached out to gauge interest in Tatum, but those overtures were instantly shut down. The Celtics’ front office is focused on building a roster that supports their franchise player rather than adding another star to share the spotlight. This stance underscores the organization’s commitment to Tatum as the long‑term centerpiece of their franchise.
