Brown had another exceptional season with the Celtics, averaging 26.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game.
Although the Celtics have been unable to win an NBA Finals with their current core, they’re right on the doorstep. Moving on from Brown would’ve significantly hurt their chances of contending for a title this season.
Now that Brown is under contract for the foreseeable future, the Celtics can focus on improving the supporting cast.
The Celtics will be one of the betting favorites in the Eastern Conference next season.
