The Boston Celtics are the team most frequently mentioned in connection with a trade for the forward. They appear to be actively trying to make a trade happen.
During a recent update on the negotiations, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the Celtics had declared some players to be off-limits in any potential deal.
He claimed that the Celtics are widely regarded as the best equipped to complete a trade with the Brooklyn Nets.
