Celtics' stance on Jayson Tatum trade revealed amid inquiries

The Boston Celtics shockingly moved on from one of their best players.

Jaylen Brown reportedly didn't request a trade, but they thought it was right to move him anyway.

Usually, whenever a team does that, it means that other valuable pieces can also be had at the right price. Notably, that's not the case with the Celtics and Jayson Tatum.

According to ESPN insider Shams Charania, the Celtics have been getting calls for Tatum's services for the past couple of weeks. They're not interested in that possibility.

The Celtics don't want to trade Jayson Tatum at any cost

“Over the last three, four weeks, while this Jaylen Brown stuff was going on, teams were calling the Celtics on Jayson Tatum”, Charania revealed. “Their answer was hard stop, ‘No, we’re not trading Jayson Tatum. 'He’s untouchable. He’s not on the table.’ Jaylen Brown, different story—open for business, ready to trade him, give us your best offer.  So that’s the dichotomy of both of those situations.”
