Astute fans of the Boston Celtics are keeping a close eye on the play of the team’s star wing Jaylen Brown, as the Georgia native will be eligible for a supermax deal that is by and large the best tool the Celtics have at their disposal to ensure Brown will stay with the team as an unrestricted free agent at the end of his current deal.
Some have decried the fact that the current rules governing such extensions ought to be changed to make it easier for teams to retain star talent they drafted such as Brown’s case with Boston. This prompted negotiations to make such changes in the next league collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that is currently getting hammered out by the Board of Governors and the Players’ Association.
