We’re almost at the end of July, and Jaylen Brown is yet to sign a contract extension with the Boston Celtics, despite being eligible for Supermax. Recent reporting has noted how Brown had prior commitments in Europe, and the negotiations are now on ‘hold’. For some, the delay in signing a new deal is nothing to worry about, while for others, it feels like something isn’t quite right behind the scenes.
There has also been a large amount of speculation as to how Brown’s impending contract could potentially be structured. Unfortunately, not all of the speculation has been factually accurate, which leads to unfair and unrealistic expectations.
