The Latest Breaking News from Celtics

No need to panic, per reports -- Brown is simply headed overseas for a prior committment.

While some NBA analysts are making it clear they think that star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown does not deserve the full amount of his potential supermax extension, others, like ESPN's Richard Jefferson, believe the decision to sign Brown to a supermax extension is a no-brainer.

Ryan doubts star Celtics forward Jaylen Brown deserves a full supermax extension, and that the narrative behind his candidacy is based on NBA rules rather than his performance.

"I'm just very truthful with players, man," he said. "Sometimes they don’t like it, but I speak the truth."

What else can we expect from Boston in terms of signings or trades?

On this day, the Boston Celtics signed Gordon Hayward and Chris Wilcox, waived Jordan Mickey, and didn't lose Red Auerbach to the New York Knicks.

Such a path might well be one of the Celtics' best remaining vehicles to improve the team.

"We want Jaylen to be here for a long, long time and we’ve made that clear." said Stevens.

The comeback win was a surprising one given that the Lakers were in control for the first two-thirds of the tilt.
