Wondering what the hold-up is with Jaylen Brown’s potential supermax contract extension with the Boston Celtics?
Per one expert, the Celtics are likely trying to negotiate and save money on the deal, possibly not wanting to offer the full supermax extension. Perhaps complicating the negotiations, Brown may not be willing to accept anything less than a supermax.
Heavy’s Sean Deveney recently made a guest appearance on the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast to talk what might have gotten in the way of Brown inking a new extension that would make him the highest-paid player in the NBA at five years and nearly $300 million.
To hear for yourself what Deveney thinks might be behind the delay, take a look at the clip embedded below to hear some theories about the contractual wrinkles that could keep such an extension from being signed for a bit more of the 2023 offseason.
