Report: Boston’s fragile deal with Jaylen Brown may await Malcolm Brogdon, Grant Williams resolutions

The delay on Jaylen Brown’s supermax may be tied to other loose ends Boston has pending, per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.

The Boston Celtics still have business left to conduct, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on a recent episode of “SportsCenter.”

Windhorst reported 2023 Sixth Man of the Year Malcolm Brogdon “may still end up being on the market” but the potential supermax extension for star forward Jaylen Brown needs to be resolved

Describing it as a fragile deal given the potential for negotiations over whether Brown will get the full 35% of the cap in the extension, Windhorst suggests “there’s interest on both sides to get something done,” but such a move would prevent the Georgia native from being traded for a year.

“The Celtics probably want to make sure all their business is locked down before going into this (supermax extension),” he added, suggesting the Brogdon and (Grant) Williams situations may need to be resolved before Brown’s will be, as will the specific terms of a potential deal itself.

“It’s not as simple to say, ‘Jaylen — here’s your contract, sign it or not,” Windhorst explained. “There are aspects within the deal to negotiate; until it’s done, it’s not done.”
