In the wake of a pair of interviews from star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown that hint the former No. 3 pick might not want to stay with the ball club that drafted him out of Cal-Berkeley in 2016 beyond his current deal pending how both sides’ interests line up has fans and analysts scrambling to read into his comments clues about what the Georgia native might elect to do next in terms of basketball.
