Jaylen Brown, Celtics To Continue Supermax Talks At Summer League

Since July 1st, Jaylen Brown has been eligible for a supermax contract. The good news for him is that the Boston Celtics aren’t shopping him and are looking to get a deal done.

Per Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe, Boston does not plan on low-balling him as they want to pay him as closely to the supermax as humanly possible. It is expected both sides continue to talk to land Brown the five-year, $295 million supermax extension.

While there can be some negotiations on the incentives, there is a common belief both sides will agree to this supermax.

Damian Lillard’s name has been shopped around the league with fans speculating if Boston would want to acquire him. That has led to fans speculating whether or not Brown would be shipped away to receive Lillard.

However, it appears Lillard is not on Boston’s radar at the moment and they’ll continue to get a deal done with Brown.

Derrick White Signs Four-Year Extension With Celtics

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Boston Celtics continue to check things off their to-do list by extending Derrick White. His new contract will keep him in Boston until the age of 34.

White is officially signing a four-year, $125.9 million deal with a player option attached. He was seen as a big piece to get re-signed due to him being in the final year of his contract.

The $125.9 million they gave White was the max amount of money they had available, at least at this current time. White joins Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, and Jaylen Brown as players given extensions. It’s expected Jayson Tatum will receive one as well before summer is over.

One of the most clutch players in the NBA, now reigning champion, averaged 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 73 games played.

Al Horford Wants To Continue Playing Basketball

According to the man himself, Al Horford wants to continue playing basketball in the National Basketball Association. Something that was on everyone’s mind after seeing him win his first career championship Monday night.

When asked how many more years he wanted to play, the 38-year-old never committed to a set number. Horford says as long as he’s healthy and still enjoying it, he will continue playing.

“For me, I never really put a timeframe on it,” Horford told ESPN. “I want to make sure that I feel healthy, that I’m enjoying what I’m doing and for me, thankfully, I have my wife’s support and my family’s. That’s a big deal to me. … I feel like I’ve been asked this for a few years now and I feel good, I want to keep playing. Why not keep going? I don’t want to limit myself.”

He has one year left on his contract with the Boston Celtics.
