The Boston Celtics have just signed the biggest deal in NBA history with their star player, Jaylen Brown! Reports from the Associated Press have confirmed the two-time All-Star agreed to a five-year supermax contract extension, worth up to $304 million. This massive agreement will put the rumors of Brown's future with the Celtics to rest.
Negotiated by agent Jason Glushon, CBS Sports reports the deal is one of the most expensive in the league. According to a 10% growth in the salary cap, Brown will be paid a total of $303,734,891 over the course of the contract—averaging $60,746,978.20 per year. Given new television deals, the cap may even jump 10% in the near future, making Brown's contract even more substantial.
The Celtics have been wholly supportive of Brown since they drafted him in 2016, with President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens being an advocate for his max contract. “He’s a big part of us. We believe in him and I’m thankful for him,” Stevens said. “I’m really thankful that when those guys have success they come back to work.”
Fellow Celtics star Jayson Tatum praised Brown's skill and importance to the team. “He plays both ends of the ball and still is relatively young," Tatum said. "He’s accomplished a lot so far in his career. So, I think it’s extremely important.”
The Celtics have made the right decision in keeping their star on the team long-term. With Brown's impressive career averages of 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists, combined with his leadership and drive, he will be an invaluable asset for the Celtics.
