Some of the buzz heading into training camp has been the impending deadline on Jaylen Brown’s extension. Brown is in the final and fourth guaranteed year of his rookie contract and the Celtics have until October 21st to offer him a new deal. While that seems unlikely--Danny Ainge has extended a rookie since Rajon Rondo in 2009--that financial instability doesn’t seem to faze the 22-year-old who is now the team’s second most tenured player.
“I’m not putting too much thought into it. I’m not losing sleep over it,” Brown said at Media Day on Monday.
