– “While the Jaylen Brown extension is the most important piece of business, league and team sources told The Athletic the first domino they expect to fall will be Grant Williams’ restricted free agency.” – “Discussions over a designated veteran extension for Brown are expected to pick up steam soon, as the negotiating parties head to Las Vegas Summer League. While several designated rookie extensions have been agreed upon since free agency opened, the Brown contract is more complicated. Sources with knowledge of the discussions told The Athletic that the delay is due to the flurry of free agency activity this past week.” – “Even if Boston offers the full five-year, $295 million deal, the team will want to build in an incentive structure while Brown’s camp can push for an early termination option (ETO) after Year 3 or a player option in Year 5, as Jayson Tatum received. An ETO would give Brown a chance for another five-year max deal while he’s still in his prime.”
Grant
– “Though most of the league’s cap space has dried up at this point, the expectation with Williams has always been that a sign-and-trade or midlevel exception (MLE) would be the likely outcome. Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, New York and Washington are all still in the mix, according to league sources, …” – “Boston has been seeking a first-round pick in return for Williams, according to league sources, though it’s rare for a sign-and-trade for a role player to yield that significant of a return.” – “Multiple league sources told The Athletic that they expect the Celtics to consider matching a deal up to the $12.4 million MLE that teams such as Charlotte and Atlanta can offer. But those teams, as well as Dallas, New York and Washington, can work out a sign-and-trade with the Celtics to bring in Williams for a salary Boston wouldn’t match.”
Brogdon
– “Even after the Brogdon trade to the Clippers fell apart before the draft, when the Celtics sent Marcus Smart to Memphis instead, a potential Los Angeles deal still could be in play. The Clippers have been looking for a new home for Marcus Morris — while Norman Powell has also come up in potential deals, according to league sources — but the Celtics would need a third team to take the player on. The Clippers are reportedly the front-runners to land James Harden, so that could hold up progress on a Brogdon deal.”
– “Whether it’s dealing Williams or Brogdon, Boston’s priority likely will be bringing in a ballhandler to complement White as the starting point guard.”

Brad is being bold, I like it:
> Boston has been seeking a first-round pick in return for Williams, according to league sources, though it’s rare for a sign-and-trade for a role player to yield that significant of a return. Once Williams’ situation is resolved, the Celtics will have a clearer picture of how they can build for the future around Brown’s extension.
That’s a lot and if he gets that for a S&T of Grant he is a mad genius

I can’t think of the last time a a major player ex resized an early termination option. Hope we just do the 4+1 because I definitely do not like the risk of that
After reading this multiple times, I think Brogdon will not start the regular season as a member of the Celtics. Jaylen Brown will get a very favorable deal for him. I don’t think that he is a Celtic for life. We might get another first from Grant S&T. New CBA created a new exception for second rounders. We will be drafting in the second round as long as Brad is here. We will have a gigantic star trade in the next 11 months using all of those first rounders. Right now we have 5 to send, 3 to swap
