Jalen Brown is one of the Boston Celtics’ most important players and will play an even bigger role next season.
Since being drafted by the team in 2016, Jaylen Brown, along with Jason Tatum, led the Boston Celtics to multiple conferences and the NBA Finals, eventually winning the championship last year.
This season, Brown averaged 22 points and continued to shine on a good defensive outing.
The Celtics were hit badly when Jason Tatum suffered Achilles’ injury in the playoffs.
It was later announced that Brown was playing with Meniscus tears, but the 28-year-old is expected to return to the next season.
There have been reports that many reports have come up after the loss. Teams are expected to trade small numbers of players as the roster is very expensive to maintain.
Brown has always been a name thrown into the mix, but players are focused on playing for the Celtics.
The 28-year-old was in the community for the release of his exclusive 741 Rover White Noise sneakers.
He revealed how he felt about Boston and what it would be like to present in all offseason trade rumours.
“Boston is home. I’ve been living my life here for 10 years, so sometimes I’m online and in the media, but there’s a lot of noise. When I go out into the community, there’s as much love and real connection as I do today,” Brown said.
He also shared what fans can expect from him next season as he continues to maintain the uncertainty around the roster.
“You should expect to see me coming out next year and leave my heart on the floor.
“And you can expect me to continue to improve and look forward to taking the problems into my own hands,” Brown added.
Brown still has another four years left on his current contract, and is expected to make $53 million next year.
The Celtics are trying to reduce cap space, but removing players like Brown is certainly not the right option.
The four-time All-Star proved that he could take things into his hands when he was announced as the final MVP.
He is the leader of the team and his ability on both ends is that it’s difficult to beat the Celtics.
This is the first time the Celtics have been done without Tatum for long periods, and in his absence they will need someone who can naturally take control. So you should think about what else you can do to keep your team competitive.
Derrick White, Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis are other players expected to be on the market.
These are all important players who helped win the championship, but their contracts are expensive and it’s difficult for teams to keep them under the new CBA rules.
There is no confirmation as to which of the three will leave the Celtics, but fans hope Brown will continue to play for them.
