The Boston Celtics have some tough roster-building decisions to make in light of the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that punishes ball clubs with expensive rosters like the Celtics currently possess, but based on recent reporting from Heavy’s Steve Bulpett, Boston believes they won’t have to choose between star wing Jaylen Brown and reserve forward Grant Williams.
Per Bulpett, unnamed NBA executives, the Celtics, “not wishing to engage in a game of roster Jenga, will find a way to retain both” Brown and Williams on a new deal. “I hear fans up there are debating whether to give Brown the supermax (five years, $290 million), but at some point, the numbers don’t really matter,” said one GM of Brown.
