Why the Boston Celtics should pay Jaylen Brown – not trade him

The Celtics can’t afford to downgrade their talent if they want to pursue a title.

The Boston Celtics’ recent postseason failure against the Miami Heat in the 2023 Eastern Conference finals and changes to the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement have led to calls for a shake-up of the franchise’s roster. Jaylen Brown in particular is drawing scrutiny from fans and analysts in recent days.

Brown’s performance in the playoffs has been rightfully criticized. Amid the critiques and calls for trades, some note his overall contributions make him an exceptionally valuable player and that the blame being cast on him for a team failure unfair.

Moreover, on the CBA concerns, there has been pushback noting the Celtics can’t afford to downgrade their talent and should focus on paying the Georgia native if the team wants to compete for a title in the near future.

Such is the case made in a new video from the folks at The Score, take a look for yourself in the clip embedded below to get their argument in full.
