The Summer of Jaylen Brown
The first round of the NBA playoffs have begun and with only one game played the Celtics have one of the clearest paths to an NBA finals that I have seen in a long time. Your biggest challenge would be Giannis and the Bucks but after that fall the other night, things are looking pretty clear.
With the thrusting up of the hips you could tell that he injured his butt hole on that fall, painful. Giannis may be out for a couple games and the Heat will take full advantage of that, just like Jaylen Brown is about to take full of the new CBA the NBA has signed into affect that will begin this offseason. Will winning a championship help the chances of keeping Jaylen Brown or is it code red, we have a flight risk.
The new CBA was signed and this one part should make the Celtics fans excited for this upcoming off season it reads.
The NBA and NBPA have agreed to increase the upper limits on extensions from a 120% increase on a current deal to 140%, which could have a significant impact on the futures of stars like Celtics forward Jaylen Brown.
Aka Jaylen Brown is going to have himself a pay day.
But after all the trade talks for the past several years that would have sent Jaylen Brown out and a super star in, what if he wants to dictate his next move, give up a bag of money and start a team lead by him. We all know the Celtics are Jayson Tatum’s team until he decides to give it up. So, if Jaylen wants to take his ball and start his own thing, maybe this summer it can begin.
If Jaylen doesn’t take the money, Brad Stevens should be calling all 29 NBA teams and say give me your best deal. Of course teams could wait till the off season if they have a shot with him but what about the Raptors and what they did with Kawhi Leonard. You traded away for a flight risk and cashed in on the ultimate prize, an NBA Championship. How many teams are out there that our one piece away from winning it all?
It has become a yearly tradition in the NBA off season to hear chatter about Jaylen Brown trade rumors, this summer will be no different *IF Jaylen doesn’t sign that massive extension.
Also, watch the rumors about where this man signs to coach next year.
NBA teams could try to bring Ime Udoka in to try to sway Jaylen in coming to play for them via a trade this offseason or wait till 2024 offseason. Get ready, Jaylen Brown is about to have himself a summer.
