People love throwing out the numbers without the context. If we dont max him we lose him next summer for nothing, if we dont max him and trade him it will be for less as hes an expiring and the new team cant offer enough this summer for him to be willing to sign, and we cant sign and trade him either.
The only option is extend him run it back for a year and if it doesnt work sell him for the kings ransom next summer on a super max locked up for a half decade to the highest bidder where brown will have little to no negotiating power.

Who fucking cares. He’s not worth the money if it was an open market, but it’s not and he’s worth the super max. Sign the fucking man and be happy he’s not leaving.

Think about it as a percentage rather than a number.
Jaylen took a paycut last contract – He’s obviously not “worth” over 50 mil a season, but that’s how the NBA works now. If he’s eligible, he’s earned it. Pay your talent.

Insane. Good for Jaylen.
If he is consistently All-NBA 2nd team, it maybe makes sense in the new world. If he doesn’t and underperforms expectations, and/or the team never wins a title (probable), it ends up a case study on batshit crazy pro sports contracts.

Yes. Because I don’t care about who gets paid what, I care about us winning an 18th championship and the second in my lifetime
solarscopez
“in history” until the next player gets a supermax
Wishiwasaballerbaby
Then the following season when someone signs a supermax they will be the highest paid and the cap will go up over time this discourse is beyond old.

Can’t wait for the blown up roster in 2 years because of it! That’ll be fun
RainIML
I thought Jaylen was going to wait until the end of this upcoming szn for an extension or is he due now?
SnooRabbits6637
Yes, us fans who wanna win a ring at all cost don’t care about the cost.
JaylenBrownFlow
yes because this happens all the time
you pay your all nba talent stars
in a few years he’ll be nowhere near the biggest deal
peachesgp
I’m 100% ready to not give a shit.
DocDRabbit
Lateral move that will financially cripple us for years
exytuu
Guarantee he probably won’t even be highest by the end of the summer, let alone five years from now

Tell JB to let me hold something…I’ll pay him back

No.

How many posts are we going to have repeating the exact same thing? He’s getting the supermax and it’s not coming out of any of our pockets. Move on.

I’m just curious what I would need to do to get ready

extending him is the best option. if we don’t extend him he walks for nothing or his trade value is severely weakened because he’s a rental for 1 year. extending him not only allows us to run it back (as anyone with a brain would know is best) and if we decide to move him that cap hit will look a lot better since he’s under team control for multiple years then being a 1 year loaner
HunBotz
Yes.

Two ways you win rings in this league:
* Retain the All-NBA guys you draft * Sign Lebron
jambr380
$61.4M/yr over 5 years is honestly more hilarious than anything. I get that we have to pay him, but hope we trade him sooner rather than later once he is on that contract.
DestrosSilverHammer
If he grows a left hand over the summer that contract’s a bargain.
CeesHuh
Fuck no
20wall
Obviously we need to max him otherwise he’s gone but he will be overpaid the day he signs that contract
Fuckblackhorses
Yeah until the next guy signs a max. The salary cap is going to continue to go up, that’s kinda how it works, there will be some bum making more than jb in a year or 2

Jaylen Brown’s 2023 VORP is fifth on the team, so why not?
