The 29 People and Things That Will Define the NBA in 2019-20

NBC SportsChances Celtics, Jaylen Brown reach contract extension reportedly “pretty slim”
The bill is coming due in Boston.
For years Boston was the team with promising young players and a treasure chest of draft picks. Now, the bill is starting to come due on the picks they kept.
Starting with a potential rookie contract extension for Jaylen Brown, there are a few key reasons an extension is unlikely.
First, Boston with Danny Ainge has not been a team that agrees to a lot of extensions of rookie contracts. Second, Boston is a capped out team the next couple of years. For example, they are $13 million below the tax line this season, and next season they will be flirting with it again. Finally, there is the biggest obstacle: What is the salary figure for a Brown contract extension? The two sides are not going to see eye to eye on that.
The Celtics are not going to give Brown a five-year, $168 million max extension, which is what Ben Simmons in Philadelphia and Jamal Murray in Denver got. The only other rookie extension agreed to so far this summer is Caris LeVert with the Nets for $52 million over three years, or $17.3 million a year average.
Boston may be open to re-signing Brown at a LeVert number, around $17 million or $18 million a year, but Brown certainly thinks he’s worth north of $20 million.

It's likely time for Danny-boy to start creating trade packages centered around Brown.

Agree with all but the blue font. We have tons of proof that Dan E. strAinge holds onto assets too long. We don't know if Schlenk has that problem yet so no need to fret.
I feel like I've said this before ... somewhere.

Brown is getting bad advice but regardless will receive 20m+. Danny will be forced to trade him and hopefully he has the Boston fans support because Brown wants an ungodly amount.jayu70 wrote:

True but you can’t doubt his skill level coming into the draft. He’s got the physically tools he’s just a moron apparently.
