Jaylen Brown’s future with the Boston Celtics is uncertain as he approaches a potential supermax contract extension given the exigencies of the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement. Worse, there have been rumors of him considering leaving the Celtics to become the focal point of his own team.
However, it seems likely he will stay in Boston for at least the short term provided Boston offers the supermax. Both Brown and star teammate Jayson Tatum had poor performances in the East finals and have struggled in games against lesser opponents, raising yet again questions about their ability to play together.
