Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown lately made headlines with feedback made about his free company in 2024. Whereas Brown didn’t say that he would depart Boston, he didn’t precisely commit both. That’s to be anticipated, this far out from subsequent summer season nevertheless it does reinforce the idea that he may ultimately depart.
Celtics legend Paul Piece believes it’s potential:
Pierce doesn’t precisely have a sterling popularity, post-playing profession however the Truths assertion may ring true. Brown is in the midst of a profession season, however he hasn’t obtained practically as a lot consideration as fellow Celtic star Jayson Tatum.
He could also be okay with that now however different groups may use that of their gross sales pitch to try to lure him away. Brown is a star, probably even a famous person, and so they don’t all the time like enjoying second fiddle or being perceived as doing so. That’s partly why Kevin Durant left Golden State after it turned clear that it was all the time going to be Steph Curry’s staff. Brown may ultimately really feel the identical and search to unfold his wings elsewhere.
If Brown makes an all-NBA staff, then the Celtics stand a superb likelihood of conserving him since he’d qualify for a 5-year, $290 million contract. If he doesn’t, nevertheless, their monetary benefit isn’t practically as massive and loads of groups may have main cap area subsequent summer season.
Signing him away from Boston would even have the bonus impact of severely weakening a contender in an already pretty wide-open subject. However can Brown be one of the best participant on a championship staff? possibly not, although, both means, he will definitely be paid like one.
Finally, Brown’s choice will possible linger over subsequent season, particularly if he doesn’t make all-NBA. That places added stress on the Celtics to win all of it, in hopes of convincing Brown to remain subsequent summer season.
