Can Jaylen Brown lead the Boston Celtics without Jayson Tatum next year?
Can Jaylen Brown lead the Boston Celtics without Jayson Tatum next year? With Jayson Tatum expected to be out for an extended period of time next season for the Boston Celtics, there are many trains of thoughts about how the roster will look moving forward. Outside of the consistent trade speculation surrounding several names on the roster, there is plenty of conversation about superstar Jaylen Brown and if he can be the team's top offensive weapon for next year. Brown, the 2024 NBA Finals MVP averaged over 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists last season, while he battled through a knee injury late in the season. While Tatum was named to the All-NBA First Team, Brown failed to get a selection this season due to injuries, but has shown the skillset to carry the team when called upon. No matter what the Celtics do in the offseason, trading away Brown does not seem to make sense if Boston wants to remain a contender in the Eastern Conference. Recently, 'The Big 3 NBA Podcast' on the CLNS Media Network discussed what the expectations could be for Brown next season, and if he truly could be the one who carries the team on his back. Watch the video above to hear the discussion surrounding Jaylen Brown and his status with the Celtics going into next season. There has been plenty of early rumors around the team about potential trades of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, but no matter what direction the team opts to go in, there's little doubt that they should rely on Brown as their leader next year. If you enjoy this pod, check out the "How Bout Them Celtics," "First to the Floor," and the many other New England sports podcasts available on the CLNS Media network:
