The Boston Celtics have made headlines by signing All-NBA forward Jaylen Brown to an historic five-year contract extension worth an astonishing (at least to some fans, judging by their reaction) $304 million. This deal marks the richest contract extension in NBA history and shows the Celtics’ commitment to keeping Brown as a cornerstone of the team moving forward.
The entire contract is fully guaranteed, providing Brown with financial security and assurance over the next five years. With this extension, the Celtics put an end to months of speculation and uncertainty surrounding Brown’s future. Some may question the enormous value of the contract and label it as an overpayment.
However, it’s crucial to consider the evolving financial landscape of the NBA, where players’ salaries have significantly increased in recent years due to the league’s lucrative TV deals and revenue growth.
The hosts of the “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast recently sat down to talk over all the above in the embedded video; take a look at it to get their takes on the Brown supermax extension.
