The Boston Celtics are uninterested in trading for former No. 1 overall NBA draft pick Deandre Ayton according to MassLive’s Brian Robb — who reported that a Malcolm Brogdon trade to the Suns is dead following the completion of a trade that’s sending Bradley Beal to Phoenix for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, future pick swaps, and future second-round draft picks.
“The Celtics have no interest in an Ayton deal per a league source due to his pricy contract so any scenario that involves Brogdon going to Phoenix now is dead without a third team getting involved,” Robb prefaced before saying, “Phoenix could involve moving Ayton elsewhere but don’t look for Boston to get involved unless Ayton’s going to a different team.
