LFG! Long term baby!
GET IN HERE
And you guys were scared it wasn’t gonna happen🤣🤣 never a doubt
JAYYYYYYYBEEEEEEEE FOR 30444444
God damn even though I knew the amount beforehand, it still looks crazy. But so happy to have him sticking around
Let’s gooooooooooooooooooo
SUCK MY DICK SAUDI ARABIA
No player option. I’m shocked it took so long
Ok here we go. Next 2 years are big. Let’s get 18!!!
No player option?! W
Let’s fucking gooooo this is the end of the break up the Jays talk
Giving him a trade kicker in exchange for no player option is smart.
Glad to have JB locked up long-term(and for all the endless, “Why hasn’t JB signed his supermax yet?” posts to die out also).
I get that there’s a part of the fanbase that’s worried about JB being overpaid, but also what exactly is your alternative here? Trade him for a worse, but cheaper player or try to get a better, but older player like Dame? Not a fan of either of those scenarios personally.
Plus my philosophy on supermaxes has always been that the player either needs to be an MVP or near MVP level talent to justify it(so that’s gonna be Tatum next offseason), *or* he needs to be one of your star players AND you’re already a contender. Brown’s contract situation definitely falls into the latter.
LFG. JB and JT locked
Jaylen Brown supporters! Check in! 🫡
Trade Kicker at best just maxes his contract out in event he’s traded, which is fair. Either we win with him and he’s on a five year deal completely in our control, or we need to move him and he gets max value of his contract on a new team.
Edit: Also gives him more control if we do trade him, he could waive trade kicker for a team he prefers. But it doesn’t make enough of a difference for it to be a deal breaker.
Hell yes. Knew it was going to happen, but I’m glad it’s finally inked!
Please learn to dribble now.
right when Patrice retires!?
LET’S GOOOO CELTICS ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Sweet mother of god that’s a lot of money
Jaylen got PAID
No player option is huge tho. The trade kicker I guess is alright since it’s pegged to the max anyways?
WE BELIEVE IN YOU, JAYLEN
What weird sports day before noon. Bergy retired, Lebron son had a heart attack, JB getting his max extension. Just a lot flying through my head right now.
Happy for JB tho
Bergy retires, JB signs a mega deal? Too many conflicting emotions right now
