Celtics Notes: Jaylen Brown continue to negotiate a potential super max extention agreement

According to Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe and Brian Robb of MassLive.com, a fifth-year player option and a trade kicker might be among the contract details being negotiated as the Celtics and Jaylen Brown continue to negotiate a potential super-max agreement.

Given that Brown has been the subject of frequent trade speculation in recent years and may be the odd man out in the future if the Celtics want to shake up their roster and/or reduce their payroll, Robb speculates that the inclusion of a trade kicker could be a key point of contention for both sides.

According to Himmelsbach, the Celtics and Brown’s camp continued to talk over the weekend and into this week, and league sources are confident that an agreement will be concluded sooner or later, but one source told The Boston Globe that “there is work to be done.”

Here’s additional information on the Celtics: Himmelsbach looks into the bond between former Duke teammates Jayson Tatum and Amile Jefferson, who is joining the Celtics coaching staff as an assistant for the 2023/24 season in a separate story for The Boston Globe.
