As we all know, the Celtics have two cores, big boss Tatum and second boss Jaylen Brown. Brown's contract is about to expire in 2024, and he is also facing new contract renewal problems, averaging 26.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season, plus only 27 years old, Brown will get a maximum salary contract wherever he goes.
However, in an interview, when asked if he planned to stay with the Celtics, Brown said: "I don't know. It's not up to me. I will stay where I am needed and what is good for me. ”
Why did Brown say that? Let's start with two aspects. The first is the Celtics' disrespect for him, often using him as a trade chip to negotiate, the most recent was when Durant left the team in the offseason, the Celtics' offer was based on Brown, and finally with Durant's retention on the team, although the team appeased Brown afterwards, cracks have appeared.
Then there's the fact that the Celtics rejected Brown's five-year, $280 million contract extension, arguing that only Tatum was worth the price. Brown's last contract was 4 years 115 million, he has made concessions, improved year after year and was selected as an All-Star this season, he does qualify for a 5-year 280 million maximum salary contract this summer, but the Celtics are only willing to give him a 5-year $220 million contract extension, plus the previous team's attitude towards him, Brown will definitely not agree.
Brown has never been respected by the Celtics, and the team is equally different from him and against Tatum. Tatum's stats this season are averaging 30.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, and the two are not much different, but when it comes to consistency and ability to play tough battles, there is no doubt that Brown is better, and Brown's defense is better, I don't know what the Celtics think.
If the Celtics don't talk to Brown properly to meet his maximum salary contract requirements, Brown will definitely not stay with the team, after all, he is in free agency, which is what the team is rushing to ask for with the top salary.
