Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge says the team’s negotiations with forward Jaylen Brown are “going well.”
“We’ve given him numerous offers,” Ainge said on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Toucher and Rich” Thursday morning. “We’ve been negotiating for a little while.”
Eligible for a rookie-scale extension, Brown has yet to reach an agreement with the Celtics ahead of the Oct. 21 deadline. The team offered the 22-year-old a four-year deal worth $80 million, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports, but Ainge called the report inaccurate. Ainge did not specify why he deemed the report inaccurate.
