With the offseason hitting Celtics fans much earlier than usual, there’s been a lot of discourse about the team outside of basketball. In particular, Jaylen Brown has been getting more attention than usual. His name has popped up in trade rumors, and fans and analysts alike have been holding a magnifying glass to every comment and action he’s taken since the season ended.
