The NBA season has moved on to an important phase where all the teams are gearing up for the postseason. Amidst the race for the playoffs, one team has already placed itself in a comfortable position by clinching a spot, the Boston Celtics. However, recent rumors about one of their stars have everyone looking in their direction for reasons other than their excellent season. Hence, when Jayson Tatum‘s partner in crime recently spoke candidly in an interview, fans got flashes of Kyrie Irving in their team.

The Boston Celtics have the second-best record in the league. Their dominance throughout the season has been unquestionable. However, fans are curious about one of their star’s future, even after he gave an extensive interview regarding life as a Celtic.

The Boston Celtics have given their fans a season to remember as their hopes for a shot at the title continue. However, many have been wondering about the future of their star, Jaylen Brown, who is in the penultimate year of his contract with the Boston side. Fans and pundits alike have been wondering about Brown’s next destination, if any.

In an interview with Logan Murdock of The Ringer a few weeks ago, Brown mentioned his indecisiveness on staying with the Celtics for the long term. ?I don’t know. As long as I’m needed. It’s not up to me. We’ll see how they feel about me over time and I feel about them over time,” said Brown in the interview with Murdock.

However, his recent interview with Shams Charania suggests something completely different. He mentioned how he understood why there has always been a fascination behind breaking up duos.

?I get why people try to break up duos because so far, (Jayson and I) have been incredibly successful. At this point, we?re part of each other?s destiny,? said Brown to Charania.

Understandably, these conflicting words have led to confusion in the minds of the fans, as they’re fearful of this situation blowing up in their face, as it did with Kyrie Irving. Kyrie Irving’s infamous words about staying with the Celtics right before moving to the Brooklyn Nets still haunt some fans.

Fans react to Jaylen Brown’s recent comments on his Celtics’ future

Fans have heard a lot of talk about Brown’s future, including ex NBA star’s prediction that the two-time All-Star will be leaving the team in the near future. Although the recent comments by Jaylen Brown on his and Tatum’s partnership might have brought a smile to the Celtics fans’ faces, some are still worried.

After recent links to the Houston Rockets, their fans were understandably disappointed with this latest update. One fan tweeted, “The dream is dead. bury it.”

Recently, there were some rumors about the Houston Rockets locking in Brown which were floated by a Houston Radio show. However, the 26-year-old’s recent comments have given some faith to the Celtics fans.

It is yet to be seen if Brown does sign an extension with the Celtics after this hopeful interview, or if he decides to fulfill the Rockets’ fans’ wishes.
