Jaylen Brown is good but NOT that good!!!

[shopson67]

If/when AD extends this summer, his deal would be equivalent to 5 years, $251.4M

 

[Wamu]

$27M more over 5 years and 2 years younger.

Brown isn't on the same level as Jokic.

The Joker's a 5x all star. A 2x league MVP. A WFC finals MVP. And Finals MVP.

 

[The Q]

This atrocious deal wouldn’t even be that bad if they just took the natural cap increase

Celtics wouldn’t even be a tax team right now

Kind of a dick move but I laughed. This is the most creative version of the Jaylon Brown has no left hand joke.

Imagine being the guy in that video who bought the fake going left…

Joker's deal was under the previous CBA (120% raises compared to the new 140% raises now).

Didn't MJ make about 93 mil from his contracts while playing?

Yep

It's crazy to think that while the GOAT was winning his first threepeat, he was earning less than Mason Plumlee is this year!

Brown and Tatum have convinced me that they can't win it all. Obviously they haven't convinced Brad.

What is the point of typing this?

In other news, the sky is blue.

The irony is ... if they didn't give it to him, some other dumbazz team would have.

Other teams could only offer like 100m less

This is just another example of why I don't like the concept of the max contract, especially the supermax. The way its written, a team is basically left with little choice but to give it to the player who qualifies whether they are worth it or not. Brown is not worth the numbers the supermax works out to. That's franchise cornerstone level money. He's a fine player but he's not that. Personally, I'm not even sold on him being #2 on a championship team but that's separate discussion. If they had a true market, he wouldn't get this number. Guys like Giannis and Jokic would, they'd likely get even more, but these secondary stars would come in at lesser numbers. The players wouldn't go for it, but it'd benefit everyone involved imo (teams and players as a whole) if they did away with max contracts and just let you bid whatever.

If unable to get him to sign, the Celtics would've traded him. The receiving team could then offer him that same extension. I don't see any way the Celtics let him just hit the market in free agency.

Agreed. In the end this will cost some other veterans some money, if not their jobs.

 

[justanidiot]

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

does not really matter, there are dozens of players who got this "max" money that I have to google. Give it a few years and the owners, who are paying this mad money, will eventually lock them out.

I dont want to hear about a no trade clause, I want to hear about a no demand to be traded clause to go play with your friends.

It matters if it hinders a team contending because they can't sign other players

 

[The Q]

Perk’s best take ever is on this atrocity of a deal


One title isn’t enough

Is that the case with the Celtics? They've come up just short when Brown was cheap with much the same roster.

You spelled paid more than enough for his contributions wrong…

Even when he was "cheap" they came up short because he didn't perform. Neither did the Cs as a team
