[Deveney] Jaylen Brown is supermax eligible and “would be crazy” to turn it down. One exec says Brown’s ambivalence about Celtics, expressed in recent interviews, was all about leverage for this moment: “Jaylen’s angle is, ‘You’re giving the max-max this time.’”

yes turning down 300 million dollars is crazy more at 11
It was all just a show for JB to earn his money. Deservingly so.
Brad don’t have any leverage now, just give him the supermax.
The man has earned it with the way he has been playing in the playoffs. He has been our rock when Tatum decided to have his 8/22 games or his 1/9 in the first half multiple game bs
In today’s climate he can take and the money and still ask out in a year so yeah he’s taking the money. At the very least we don’t have to worry about JB walking for nothing.
I don’t want this to turn into a “OKC what could of been situation” give him the money!
Kinda fucked he had to make all nba in a contract year. Supermax is dangerous stuff
It’s the least he could do after the KD rumors, honestly. Glad he spoke up.
I feel like it really solidified how the fans, and hopefully the org feels about him.
We are extremely lucky to have him in a Celtics uniform, psyched he got All-NBA. Well deserved.
I trust Jaylen. He has great physical talent, keeps improving every year, has killer instinct, and is reaching his prime. He’ll be worth his Super max
Do any teams currently have 2 supermax contract players?
The super max can end the constant made-up media trade rumors it’ll be worth it.
Hope he will pay someone to water his flowers
