Who might join Jaylen Brown with a $300+ million contract?
Will you be surprised if it was another star from the Boston Celtics? Jaylen Brown was not the only player eligible for a super-max contract after this season. It is his best buddy Jayson Tatum as well! The 25-year-old can sign a $315 million extension next season after accomplishing all the requirements already.
With Tatum being the primary superstar on the roster, it’s a no-brainer that the 4x NBA All-Star will be tied up long-term by the Celtics. Boston will soon have the first duo in NBA history to both earn over $300 million. But the big question is, how will it affect the composition of the rest of the roster? Only time will tell.
