Jaylen Brown turned down $80M

Brown might be taking a gamble here because the Celtics have so many (too many) wings. He is bound to be a #4 option, and history suggests that #4 options do not put up big numbers in this league. And like it or not, the contract thing and the desire to put up big numbers will be on his mind the whole year and in general, I feel like that this can lead to worse performance.

What makes him worth more than 6-8 million dollars a year? I'd bet their are multiple players currently making that or less that are around as good as Brown. At least the Tatum hype I kinda sorta get, even if its blown out of proportion, but the Brown hype makes no sense.

He's making 6 million off the rookie scale. He's a decent starter right now despite being forced into a totem pole and you think he should earn the salary of a backup? The same salary as Seth Curry and Doug McDermott?

Age and potential.

This is why it made zero sense for the Celtics to not trade for AD or Kawhi. Now they are stuck paying these guys on potential.

Paying Brown 100 million and Tatum a max deal after next season. Yikes.
