The Celtics offered Brown, guard Derrick White and a draft pick to the Nets for Durant, Charania reports.

The proposal was rejected, and Brooklyn has asked Boston — in any proposal — to include Brown, Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, draft picks, and potentially one more rotation player, an NBA insider adds.

Currently, the Celtics are less inclined to include Smart along with multiple other players or pick assets, but the franchise is mulling over the next steps on how to approach discussions, via the report.

Durant requested a trade from Brooklyn on June 30 and after active discussions between the Nets and interested teams in early July, conversations have slowed down.

As stated by Shams Charania, Durant has shown no change in his stance, while the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat remain among the teams in pursuit.
