BREAKING: Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has agreed to a five-year, $304 million supermax contract extension with the franchise, per sources. This is the richest deal in NBA history, negotiated by agent Jason Glushon. Fully guaranteed, with a trade kicker. No player option.
He stays. Imagine having to pay 15% on top of $61m/y. Assuming it’s a 15% trade kicker that’s over $70m a year

That’s a lot of cheddar. Good for Jaylen, but dammit
YeeezusWept
I can’t even imagine what Tatum’s gonna get… in a few years their roster will be only Tatum, Brown, Porzingis and a bunch of vet min contracts

I get that NBA stars are generally underpaid given the amount of revenue they generate, but holy shit this contract is insane.
No way we trade for him now

Well, I can’t wait until they have to pay us assets to take his contract for Hunter and an expiring Siakam in a few years

Hot take – this is good news.
Jaylen Brown is now a neutral asset on that contract with potential to become slightly negative if he takes a step back or plateaus next year. The trade kicker means Boston will have to pay 15% if they trade him, not the team that receives him.
I think Boston might still eat that cost and do a trade next year if Boston disappoints badly in the playoffs (e.g. 2nd round exit) especially if Brown’s performance is a mixed bag again.
On the new contract, I don’t think the return for Brown is as high as it might have been if he were traded this off season (even if the 60m/year was an inevitability). Psychologically it feels very different trading for a $60m guy vs a $26m guy.

Yeah jaylen brown is good but he isn’t worth more than 40 million a year imo. 60 million is literal insanity
