Celtics' Brown lands richest deal in NBA history

 

[Shanemansj13]

Well if they didn't want to trade him or couldn't trade him for the value they think is fair...it was a move they had to make. The contract is horrible for the Celtics and the future. Brown and Tatum better form into a version of DWade and Lebron

They haven't been so far so I highly doubt they will be. Hate this move. Really hope I eat my words but I doubt I will

 

[Carnzo]

Wow!

 

[bksballer89]

Money going up

 

[redseat]

Brown is slated to making $52.3 million when the contract first kicks in during the 2024-25 season and $69.1 million in 2028-29, the final year of the deal. He is not eligible for a no-trade clause because he signed an extension.

 

[DJ]

Insane money.

 

[redseat]

Insane money.

For a guy that imo isn't worth it. Yes he is good but not that good!

 

[Ojb81]

Woof!! Good for Jaylen, but geeeeeez...

 

[shopson67]

Good on him. Gotta think Tatum is already thinking he needs a raise.

He's the first one to hit that level, but there will be many more to follow. He just had the timing to hit that level first.

I totally get that as that is the way sports contracts are going but I just don't see him being worth that much

Yeah, understood and I agree. When he made an all-NBA team last year, that triggered eligibility for a bigger max and this is the result.

Yup I did read that and I get why the money is what it is but jesus this is waaaay toooo much!

It is going to be a bad contract for sure.

Just not sure what the Celtics alternative would be for making their team better?

Brown’s trade value was diminished because any team dealing for him would be looking at handing him a max contract after giving up assets to get him.

Just the cost of doing business in the NBA unfortunately.

That contract will be practically untradeable anyway

Wish it was another teams cost of doing business but now the Celtics will be in hell for a few years

They still have enough prices to contend right now.

Just their window won’t last much longer.
