Big contract for Jaylen Brown.
I read that Jaylen Brown could sign a maximum contract of $304 million with the Boston Celtics.
If this is true, the last year of the contract will be $ 70 million.

That's huge for Brown, him and Tatum has been the face of Boston Celtics for years. And now that Marcus Smart is gone, he could be very influential to the team right now. Hopefully, Boston will blossom and reach the finals again or even win.

Waste of money tbh. Brown was good until Finals, then he choked pretty bad.
Does he deserve max contract? On his own perspective probably yes, but I don't think he and Celtics will get away with that last failure. If they ever get to Finals again, everybody will remember that moment.

I think it's a huge gamble for the Celtics giving that kind of contract to someone they may trade in two or three years time if they keep failing at winning the title. Maybe it would make more sense if there are certain conditions in the contract that he should meet before he gets full payment.

I read that it's the biggest contract in NBA history. Nobody get paid 70m on a year before. Even Jokić has 5-year 276m contract. Brown will pass the MVP and other players. Pretty good deal for a Top 10 player.

If Green values himself at $100 million, then we shouldn't be surprised that Brown got such a huge contract. It's worth noting that team salary caps are increasing year on year, and I guess some players will have $500+ million contracts in a few seasons. For comparison, $20-25 million per season was a huge salary for top players 12-13 years ago, but now the same salary is paid to average players.

Again, him and Tatum are blending well in the last couple of years and they should be around their prime years right now.
So it's good to see that he has been rewarded by the Celtics management.

The LeBron James number story is a bit of a strange one when you consider the timing of it. If memory serves me correctly though, he actually wanted to do this immediately after Bill’s death and before the season started last year, but I believe it was Nike or the league or some company told him no because they already had so much #6 merchandise ready to go.

Of course, no company in the world is going to want to take a huge loss. That is exactly what will happen if LeBron James does decide to go back to his old jersey number. I don't know but I am pretty sure that the last time this happened some companies had to take a little loss. Because I believe previously he was wearing a number 23 Jersey. He changed it and made it number 6.

Anyway, if a star player like him does end up changing his jersey number the companies which have already made Jerseys with the number 6 on the back are going to take a big loss because no one would want to buy the number 6 Jersey anymore. I don't think LeBron James should do it as well because that should probably affect him financially as well because any player gets a lot of money through different merchandise.

What a huge amount of money if that offer is true.

Though if looking at how Boston rotating their offense, it's mostly for Tatum and him, the blend and chemistries are already
established and the good catch for Boston, both are still young.

They just need to invest more with their role players and allow both Tatum and Brown to take over whenever the
team needed them most.

And the money being offered are getting bigger and bigger in the NBA right now, although it fare very small as compare to football. Nevertheless, Boston are rebuilding again and most likely they will have Brown and Tatum as the center of it.

Of course, they need more pieces, like role players at hand. They don't have Marcus Smart and Grant Williams so they will have to find a good replacement for them. Specially in defense because that's what Smart provided them during his years in Boston.

Stephen Curry just hit a hole in one on live TV during a golf tournament. This guy is living the dream man… I’m guessing that’s going to go down as one of his all time favorite sports moments, which is crazy when you consider that he’s an MVP and NBA champion. You can catch the clip on twitter everywhere in a couple minutes I’m sure.

Happy Gilmore! Grin

Then he ran like it was a buzzer-beater shot.
Here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqjQVm1T4SI
It's one hell of a crazy shot. Just when he pulled the trigger, it already looked perfect, and when it dropped just one bounce and then it went in. Perfect touch. Then people are chanting MVP, I got goosebumps while watching it.

There's news about Lebron James.

Quote

LeBron James will change his uniform from No. 6 to No. 23 next season. “It’s LeBron’s decision,” Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Group told ESPN. “He chose to out of respect for Bill Russell.” The NBA retired No. 6 league-wide last August; James wore it a final season to honor Russell

https://twitter.com/mcten/status/1680378150172372994
I think he will retire on this number. That's his first jersey number so it is just normal that he is going to end it the same way. I also think this is his lucky number so let's see if there will be a change in what will happen on the Lakers team this season. They now have a good point guard Austin Reaves, what they need are more shooters that could spread the floor more.

Yes, just saw the clip on one of my social media accounts, and the fans are delighted and some of the are even at awe. It just really proves how good Steph Curry is, the best shooter we have seen in the NBA.

Good for Lebron to change his jersey to 23 now. I don't consider Austin Reaves though as pure point guard if we are talking about him compare to let's say CP3. But definitely last season he proved himself as the new White Mamba as his impact is more than Caruso has when he was still playing with the Lakers.

Dallas coming out and saying they are not planning to have JaVale McGee on their team when the season starts is a bit of a surprise as I think JaVale is a quality player that is underrated. Him being waved would likely open the door up for a return to Phoenix or Los Angeles on a minimum contract, which I think would be great for either team.

With his championship experience, he will be a good fit for any team that needs a defensive player like him. I'm just curious why they didn't resign him. Maybe it's because they want to develop their draft pick this year. Maybe another reason is that he isn't that much of a help offensively especially now that we are seeing Centers who are shooting threes as well. He isn't like that, but he's a good defender still. I wonder which team will get him. I would be happy if he will be reunited with the Warriors since they're still in need of a center that can sub out Looney.

If this is true, the last year of the contract will be $ 70 million.

The word is "could" meaning is isn't guarantee that he will get that contract.
Another question is that, with how he played in their series against the Heat in Game 7, do you think that the front office will think of giving him that much of a contract knowing that he's kind of unreliable in crucial games like that. I don't think so TBH.

Well, if that happens, that would be the largest contract in NBA history, but if I'm the front office, I will not give that much money to him. Yes he had a big impact towards the Celtics' success in the past years, but that contract is just too much. Maybe if it's Tatum that will request that contract then it would be better.

An official offer from Miami for Dame has been made. Tyler Herro and a few draft picks. We’ll see what happens there.

I thought that Duncan Robinson is included but it seems that Miami won't let Duncan be part of the trade, good trade if it happens.

The big news of the day out of Miami though is Jimmy Butler hooking up with Shakira. I wonder how that’s going to impact his offseason training. Usually famous women don’t have a positive effect on athletes…

Jimmy just having a good time. No matter who's he is dating before the season starts, he's just having for it and that's all. I even doubt it that if they're dating right now, it will be serious.

NSA and that's all for Jimmy and that's how usually majority of the NBA athletes are having when they're having a connection with a celebrity.

You think Portland accept that? I think they will hold out for another player or pick honestly. They're not going to get much more then that considering Lillards age, but 1 more pick is possible.

Far as Shakira and Butler, good for him. She freaking sexy!!!

Agreed that won't get it done. Their near term picks wouldn't be worth it because good chance they would land at the end of the draft, and if they are years from now that doesn't help their rebuild right now. Portland has all the time in the world to wait to move Dame. I can even see this get into the season where Dame is still a blazer. Blazers know they aren't winning the chip this year they can play chicken with the rest of the league.

We know Miami is not going to come off of Butler or Bam, but I can see anyone else on the roster being up for grabs. You're probably right on Portland having all the time in the world here. They're probably thinking of what the Rudy Golbert trade got and if Dame was 3 years younger they could probably command that, but he's just not.

They can always add Nikola Jovic to the list and even Kyrie Lowry will be used in this trade and a few first round picks just to get Dame out of the Portland towards their roster, but I cannot really understand why Miami Heat is making things more difficult to them as if they are the ones who have the upper hand in this trade when in fact they are the ones who wanted to get Dame.
If things go worse and Portland will change their decision and start talking to other teams, they can only blame themselves for that.
