Jaylen Brown has played a career-high performance this season, so far this season, Brown has played 55 games for the Celtics, averaging 36.1 minutes per game, can get 26.4 points, 7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks, shooting 48.5% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, 77.4% from the free-throw line, and the Celtics have dominated the league for a long time this season, Brown has contributed! This season, Brown not only successfully made the All-Star starting lineup, but also hopes to be selected as the best team after the season. The 26-year-old Jaylen Brown is now at the peak of his career and has $28.43 million left on his contract next year, and Celtics management is eager to renew Jaylen Brown, whose contract is about to expire.
According to local media reports in Boston, the Celtics have previously provided Jaylen Brown with an early renewal contract for 2 consecutive times, and the two contracts are 3 years 119 million US dollars and 4 years 182 million US dollars, but these two contracts were rejected by Jaylen Brown's team, and according to the latest news, Jaylen Brown still insists on signing only 5 years and 282 million US dollars super maximum salary contract, they believe that other contracts do not reflect Brown's true value!
There is no doubt that the current Jaylen Brown has entered the ranks of the league's first-line defenders, and as the most balanced shooting guard in the active game of attack and defense, Jaylen Brown even has the strength to impact the first point of the active game. And as one of the core of the Celtics, 26-year-old Jaylen Brown is definitely in the future of the team, as a scout show in 2016, Jaylen Brown has improved year by year since entering the league, and the team has given him plenty of room to grow, and he and Tatum are also regarded as the future of the team. The current Jaylen Brown's contract is a 4-year, $106 million contract signed in 2020, and from the comprehensive performance at this stage, this contract is a great value!
There is not much time left for the Celtics to renew Brown in advance, and once the Celtics do not meet Brown's five-year, $282 million contract, Brown will most likely choose to choose to leave the Celtics next summer, after all, with Brown's strength, he has the ability to become the boss of a team, and with the current comprehensive strength, there are also a large number of teams willing to offer Brown a super maximum salary contract. Once the contract extension collapses, then I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Celtics to keep Brown.
And Jaylen Brown rejected the Celtics' offer, in addition to his own strength, there is another major reason, that is, the new broadcast contract will take effect in 2025, and the salary cap will also usher in a sharp increase, and if Brown chooses to renew the contract at that time, it is possible to maximize his own interests. Do you think Brown is worth a five-year, $282 million super top salary?
