The biggest what if involving the future of Jaylen Brown has very much been the topic of discussion over the last few days after reports surfaced via Tracy McGrady's podcast that Brown was unhappy with his current situation in Boston.
"I talked to Jaylen on Monday a little bit after…real quickly, and it was nothing but positive," Brad Stevens said Wednesday afternoon. "He has not expressed those frustrations to me. We've been here 10 years together. Obviously, I love JB; everybody around here love JB. I think just like any of our other guys, as we get to the end of the season, I'll be here and my door is always open. If anybody ever wants to come in and talk about it, I'm all ears."
Jaylen Brown took to his live stream on Wednesday night, and cleared the air on any reported unhappiness with the Celtics.
"First, a lot of stuff swirling around the Celtics and the organization," Brown said on his live stream. "Hate that our president of basketball operations even had to respond to this. Me and Brad [Stevens] have a great relationship. I love Boston. If it was up to me, I could play in Boston for the next 10 years. I'll say it again, I hate that Brad even had to respond to this. Like I said, me and Brad had a great relationship and I can play in Boston for the next 10 years. I love Boston. So with that being said, moving on."
Jaylen Brown had a career-year with the Boston Celtics this season, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.0 steal per game. He's signed a five-year, $285.39 million designated veteran player extension with the Celtics back in 2023, and is signed through the 2028-29 season, when he'll be earning $64.9 million.
