The Golden State Warriors reportedly passed on an opportunity to acquire Jaylen Brown because they were unsure he could become the franchise’s centerpiece once Stephen Curry retires.

According to Logan Murdock, the Warriors considered pursuing the former Boston Celtics star before February’s trade deadline but ultimately chose not to move forward.

“Should they have gotten in on the Jaylen Brown sweepstakes? The Warriors had an opportunity to trade for the former Celtic before the deadline in February, but couldn’t build an organizational consensus that Brown would be the right player to carry the Warriors beyond the Curry era.”
