It is a season of massive contract extensions. Players like Tyrese Haliburton and Fred VanVleet have signed massive contracts which have created NBA history. Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown might be the next in line to sign a massive contract that is set to become the highest contract in NBA history. The Boston Celtics are ready to offer their star shooting guard a massive guard, but this might come at a cost.

The Celtics have one of the most stacked rosters in the league. With Brown’s extension looking more than likely, the Celtics might have to face the brunt of a huge luxury tax.

Jaylen Brown might make NBA history soon

Two-time NBA All-Star Jaylen Brown’s contribution to the Celtics’ success has gone under the radar. His teammate, Jayson Tatum, ends up taking most of the laurels home.

It seems 2023 is finally the year Brown gets the credits he deserves. According to Adrian Wojnarowki of ESPN, the Celtics are working on a contract extension. 

“It’s going to take more time. Brown and his agent have been talking with Brad Stevens, with Boston. Brown is leaving the country on Players’ Association business”, said Wojnarowski. 

This has the potential to become the largest contract in NBA history. The Celtics are ready to offer him $304 million in a blockbuster super-max deal. In the final year of his contract, the 26-year-old will earn a whopping $70 million!

Brown averaged 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 67 games for the Celtics. He was an integral part of the Celtics’ second consecutive Eastern Conference Finals appearance. 

Brown’s contract might cost the Celtics more than $300 million

The Boston Celtics have some of the biggest superstars in the league playing for them. As a result, they have to pay them huge salaries and it already amounts to a very large luxury tax.

The luxury tax currently is around $21 million for the Celtics, according to Spotrac. With Brown’s super-max extension looking imminent, the Celtics might have to prepare to pay upwards of $21 million.

This figure might take them ahead of the Miami Heat, who pay $24 million. Interestingly, even the Heat will have to pay a huge luxury tax considering all the Damian Lillard rumors. The Portland Trail Blazers star’s move is looking closer than ever and might happen anytime soon.
