The Boston Celtics are expected to sign Jayson Tatum and Derrick White to contract extensions this offseason, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

Tatum is eligible for a five-year, $315 million extension, which league circles view as inevitable.

White's extension is also regarded as "near-certain," according to Stein.

Can someone explain how the Celtics can have 5 max / near max players? I thought the new luxury tax made this near impossible?

Is D White taking a pay cut to play for the Celtics? Surely he’s worth as much as OG Anunoby? Similar skill set but actually plays consistently?
