Jaylen and Mike are both awesome.

What is Jaylen's ceiling?

President, if we are lucky.

Somewhat unimportant at the current moment, but as Jaylen's cache around the league among players has risen in conjunction with his talent and of course what JT is doing, free agents will remember this stuff during this offseason and future offseasons to come. A good postseason run along with their increased visibility and stature in the league as new voices bode REALLY well for this team. Just something to keep in the back of your mind.

At some point, guys like Mitchell and Embiid are going to want to play with Jaylen and or Tatum. Let's just hope they don't plan to do it somewhere warm or in a bigger market. Having 2 such guys and Brad certainly helps but the last few offseasons show you can lose your franchise players to LA or New York even if you do everything right.

So it would be hard to work getting either of them, but it’s not an at some point thing. Both Mitchell and Embiid 100% want to play with Tatum, and I think it’s a safe bet they want to play with Jaylen, which is unfortunate as he’d be the piece to get either of them in a trade.

If the Celtics play the long game and wait for them (moreso Embiid, Mitchell is going to be locked up for a long time) free agency, they would be in the mix and then some.

Embiid would have to adjust his game to mesh well with Tatum. Less post-ups, more PnR. Or improve his passing in the post while the Jays improve their offball movement. I don't think it's a seamless fit but workable. Embiid is FA in 2023.

Mitchell fits better with those two as the younger, more dynamic Kemba (either gets traded or Cs let him go when contract expires). Mitchell is UFA same year as Tatum so 2026 or 2027?

For sure. I think for Mitchell that probably conflicts with a loyalty to Utah and/or Snyder. I think Embiid has reached his breaking point as far as that goes.

What I meant to say is that at some point someone is going to act on it, either by putting Boston on a "short list" or finding a team with a couple of max slots and pitching JT.

A Jaylen for Embiid swap is a big risk in a league that gets more perimeter oriented every year, nevermind the health concerns, but probably one we'd have to take if given the opportunity.

Embiid can't stay on the floor and requires the ball in his hands so much. Broken player that you have to pay the superduperultramax to. Can't imagine winning with him once he starts making 35% of the cap.

Jaylen is such a weird player to gauge where he's going to plateau. He was supposed to be a project who couldn't dribble, shoot, or pass. Well he's 23, got better every single year, and just put up a 20/6/2 shooting 48/38/72 with solid D. He puts in the work, and just keeps getting better. He's not scared of the big moment, and is an outspoken leader.

If I were to compare Jaylen to any player, it would be a modern day Sidney Moncrief. Old school Celtic fans know all about Moncrief, who was a 5x All NBA Player, 2x defensive player of the year, and 5x All-Defense Team, and was the monolith for those good Bucks teams in the early/mid 80's.

Obviously Sidney didn't have the 3 point shot, it was just introduced, but I see a similar stat-line, and overall progression for Brown. The last step in his game is to get his passing inline, and set up his team mates. Continue working on his game, and I see no reason why Jaylen can't be the 22/7/4 with All-Defense that Moncrief gaves those Bucks teams.

And that would be absolutely awesome.

Embiid and Tatum train together.

I don't think seeing Embiid and Tatum in Boston is too wild.

I think they would LOVE it.

Any way to keep Brown in a situation like that?

Yep. Do not want. Esp giving up real assets and $ for the privilege.

Sometimes I forget he's only 23.

Jaylen is wise beyond his years. I'm so damn happy to call him a Celtic. Smart young man who has an extremely bright future ahead of him. I can't wait to see what he's going to accomplish on, but especially, OFF, the court.

[ParticleMan]

I wouldn't mind Embiid at the right price. He has been used criminally poorly by Brett Brown. Brad Stevens turns guys like IT and Marcus Morris into more than useful players, I think he could get thru to Embiid to get him to play the right way. He's still young.

But for Jaylen Brown? Nah, that would be a lateral move. I'm thinking some package of Hayward, young guys, and lots of picks. That's a poor return but might not be crazy if Embiid demands out. It would give the Sixers a restart on their Process, since it worked so well for them last time lol.

[TommyPointGawd]

Embiid needs to go to Miami. He could possibly kill the culture the Celtics have. If he doesn't come into next season in ridiculous shape I'm out on him in any situation other than Miami.
I really think the C's can win(or at least get to) the ship this season. I'm high on what Jaylen can accomplish. Seems a lot of you just want to trade him though.

[OldCeltics]

This question depends on if you believe in multi-dimensional theory.

If multiple dimensions exist then Jaylen Brown will hit all ceilings in different dimensions. So conceptually there is no ceilings.

If you are talking about this dimension, I would say his ceiling is the Moon, but maybe Mars. I would say no ceiling, but we all have our limitations.

After getting burned badly in the Tatum-Fultz trade, Philly won't even pick up the phone if Ainge calls..
