Celtics News: All-NBA nod propels Jaylen Brown to Max money status
As the Boston Celtics are battling for their playoff lives, down 3-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Philadelphia 76ers; they’re still earning awards off the court.
We know how Malcolm Brogdon won NBA Sixth Man of the Year recently. The other day, Derrick White found his way onto the All-NBA defensive team.
But now, they have themselves a couple of All-NBA selections. Jayson Tatum made it onto the First-Team All-NBA squad. But the more important one is Jaylen Brown.
Brown earned himself an All-NBA Second Team selection, along with guys like Stephen Curry, Nikola Jokic, Jimmy Butler, and Donovan Mitchell.
If you’re a Celtics fan like me, you’re a big fan of this selection for a variety of reasons.

The good thing about Brown getting the nod to the All-NBA Second Team is that he can earn a max extension up to five years and $295 million.
If you’re a Celtics fan, you’re really excited about this possibility!
This is the best case scenario for all involved. Jaylen Brown has proven he is among the NBA’s best players around the entire league. The Celtics don’t have to worry about teams outbidding for Brown’s services in the future, should they choose to give him the extension.
Why shouldn’t they at this point? Keeping Brown and Tatum together is the best option for the Celtics moving forward. I don’t care what people like Colin Cowherd have to say, with their hypothetical trades.
Pay the man, Brad. He deserves it for all that he’s done so far and for what he will do for you in the future!

Next. C's must make adjustments or go home. dark
This team and city needs Jaylen Brown in order to hopefully complete the mission of winning a championship. But it also comes down to whether or not the former California Golden Bear wants to stay in Boston for the long-term.
When you break down everything, why wouldn’t Brown want to stay here now? Earning close to $300 million, playing for a potential championship for the foreseeable future, being a positive influence in the city of Boston? It’s all beneficial to Jaylen Brown.
So let’s hope a deal gets done and we get to see Jaylen and Jayson in their prime years where they belong: in Boston.
