​  The Eastern Conference experienced a power shift on Monday, June 22, as the Boston Celtics missed out on acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo, and he landed with the Miami Heat. The common consensus is that Miami will need at least another year before they’re truly at a level to contend in the East; however, taking Giannis off the board has certainly left the Celtics standing at a crossroads.The Celtics’ willingness to part with Jaylen Brown was well documented throughout the bidding process for Giannis. Brown, 29, entered the summer on the back of a career year that saw him discussed among the MVP candidates for much of the year.

Now, there will be plenty of questions over his willingness to remain in Boston long-term.During a recent edition of WEEI’s “Jones and Keefe,” the hosts discussed the situation Boston currently finds itself in, what options are available to the front office, and whether offering Brown a two-year $141.9 million contract extension is the best way to keep him around for the long haul.You can watch the full discussion by clicking on the embedded video above.Watch or listen to the “Celtics Chronicle” podcast on:YouTube: https://bit.ly/3QnlPcSSpotify: https://bit.ly/40JRevfApple: https://apple.co/45sAUBGSubstack: https://bit.ly/3WoA0CfThis article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: The Celtics are at a crossroads after missing out on Giannis      ​Read More
