With the Celtics dipping back below .500 after a 1-3 road trip on the West Coast, the whispers around the impending demise of the team’s young core have begun circling in earnest once again.
One NBA insider in particular suggests that the dissolution of star forward Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown’s partnership could come sooner rather than later.
Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer recently told Sirius XM’s NBA Radio show he believes the Celtics’ slow start marks “the beginning of the end of the Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown pairing,”
“I don’t know if that will get broken up this season, but I think sometime in the next 12-18 months we’re really going to start to hear conversations about the future of Boston with Jaylen Brown heading out the door,” he added.
