Caleb Martin: Our game plan is always to force Jaylen Brown to dribble to his left
Dan LeBatard Show: “Once Jayson Tatum was injured, was the entire game plan to send Jaylen Brown to his left?” – Dan “That’s always the game plan.” – Caleb Martin
Brown is entering the final campaign of the four-year, $106 million extension he signed in 2019. There has been a train of thought that Brown’s supermax eligibility could ultimately be what keeps him in a Celtics uniform because of the money he’d be passing up if he left. It’s roughly $100 million more than the standard maximum extension he could sign with the Celtics or another team, and $40 million more than the standard maximum contract Boston, could re-sign him to in 2024.
The Celtics will almost certainly be taxpayers in 2024-25 if Jaylen Brown signs his supermax extension. That means if they remain taxpayers in 2023-24 as well, then they will enter the repeater tax starting in 2025-26. That will significantly raise their tax rates and that is also the first season tax rates will rise sharply starting at the third tax level (roughly $11 million over the tax line). The exact payroll they had for 2022-23 would equate to a $64 million higher tax penalty in 2025-26.

Celtics expected to extend Jaylen Brown
Jaylen Brown’s forgettable showing in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals may have little bearing on his future with the Boston Celtics. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported at the 16:57 mark of his Hoop Collective podcast he believes Brown, who’s eligible for free agency in 2024, will re-sign when the moment comes. “I would be stunned,” Windhorst said about the idea of Brown and Jayson Tatum having played their last game together Monday night. “In talking to people on both sides, I think there’s a very good chance they’re gonna find ground on that.”
