Some additional insight into Jaylen Brown’s trade bonus. Instead of the full 15% it’s actually…
“The Lesser of 7% of the Unearned Base Compensation and $7M.”
As Jaylen has been in trade rumors for much of his career, this was clearly an important point of negotiation. – 4:59 PM

How are NBA execs feeling about the new Jaylen Brown contract with the @celtics? Maybe not how you think:
“The same people who are beating them up for signing him would be beating them up if they did not sign him. It’s crazy.”

Jaylen Brown’s scoring efficiency using isolations and on drives has been on an upward trajectory throughout his career.
At only age 27 next season, could Brown still improve even more for the Celtics?
