Jaylen Brown has extended his contract with the Boston Celtics for 5 years and $ 304 Million.
Jaylen Brown will earn $60.8 Million annually.
TBH, I didn't expect that this contract will push through. Maybe the impact of Brown towards the success of the team for the past few years is just that big that they give him that huge contract. I wonder how will Tatum respond to this one knowing that he has more impact than him in terms of success.
Anyway, congratulations for him for getting the richest contract in NBA history. I just hope that his performance in the future will be better now than what it last season.
That's almost x2 of Tatum's contract,
as per report, his projected salary next seasons is $32,600,060, way lower than what Brown would receive, but it should not change the chemistry of the team as the management could decide to give Tatum a big contract as well once he will renew, but of course, he has to give the expectation of the team management so they will give him a bigger contract.
Might be, but for sure Tatum might have this in his mind next season about that huge contract that Brown is getting. And we think that he is the franchise player of the Celtics, however, if he is also going to be offered a huge money, then what will happen to the rest of the contract of their players?
They still need to find decent players to surround this two, a good center, a point guard and other role positions and they still need to offer them good to decent money. So the Celtics need to balance out everything, or it could be true that they are shifting everything to Jaylen Brown now?
Only Tatum and Brown are considered the best players on the team, so others would understand if they do not get a huge contract like these two are getting. Tatum is an all-around player; he might be better than Brown, but it's just that the timing favored Brown. However, as I said, when Tatum is extended, let's expect that he will get a good contract.
I think the trend is going to be that way, as not even the top 10 players in the NBA are getting huge contracts now. It's very clear that Tatum could be on par with the status of players like Irving, LeBron, and KD now, so he deserves a huge contract, probably even bigger than Brown's.
Tatum's contract will end in 2026, so by then, if he remains healthy, he'll get a good amount of money.
