The Boston Celtics will quickly have to worry about the future of Jaylen Brown. Under contract until 2024, the rear will be free to commit, with the franchise of his choice, in just over a year. And the 26-year-old rightly refused to plan for the long term with the formation of Massachusetts.
During an interview given to Logan Murdock of The Ringer, the native of Alpharetta has kept his long-term intentions vague. A real danger for the Celtics, who will have to manage this file with great care.
“Sign long-term with the Celtics? I don’t know. As long as I’m needed. It’s not just up to me. We’ll see what they think of me and what I think of them at over time.
Hopefully, whatever the situation, it makes sense. But I will stay where they want me. I will stay where I am needed and where I am treated properly,” Jaylen Brown said.
The last sentence of the 26-year-old talent can shake Boston. As we know, last summer, Brown had a hard time finding himself in discussions for a possible trade in Kevin Durant. Leaders felt they had succeeded in controlling the damage. But is this really the case?
It will also be necessary to know the desires of Jaylen Brown for his career. Even attached to the Celtics, does he want to “settle” for a role of number 1 bis behind Jayson Tatum ? A hot file to manage for Brad Stevens.
