If Brad Stevens gets his way, Jaylen Brown will remain a Boston Celtic for the foreseeable future.
Amid speculation that the Celtics could trade Brown before his contract expires next summer, Stevens reiterated his desire to keep the all-star forward in Boston.
““I can say, without a doubt, we want Jaylen to be here,” Stevens said. “He’s a big part of us and we believe in him and I’m thankful for him … Jaylen had a great year, All-NBA year. He’s a big part of us moving forward in our eyes.”
Having made an All-NBA team, Brown is eligible for a supermax contract extension worth up to $295 million over five years.
