While the CBA has not even been touched with a drop of ink, trade rumors continue throughout the league, leaving fans and even players curious of their future and the look of the upcoming season.

According to A. Sherrod Blakely, the Celtics have interest in bringing Shannon Brown into the fold. For those keeping count, it has now been reported that Boston has shown interest in Brown, Chris Paul, Chuck Hayes, Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Carl Landry, trading Rondo, dropping Garnett, releasing Allen, and every other shift changer that you could possibly thing of.

This, of course, is an unofficial list. If you love athletic guys that can jump out of the gym but are average-at-best shooters, then Brown’s the guy for you. I wouldn’t say he’s the kind of guy that the Celtics need or would love to have, but Boston needs bodies and you could probably do far worse than Brown, who was a key contributor coming off the bench for the Lakers the past few seasons. Los Angeles is talking to Brown about a possible return, so who knows what will happen.
