Jaylen Brown, Celtics Considered Likely To Sign Supermax 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue May 30, 2023 7:35 pm

The Boston Celtics and Jaylen Brown can agree to a supermax contract extension this offseason. Brown was a second team All-NBA selection this season, which made him eligible for a supermax contract for up to 35 percent of the cap.


"In talking to people on both sides, I think there's a very good chance they're going to find ground on that," said Brian Windhorst on his podcast.


Brown is currently scheduled to become a free agent in 2024.


If Brown signs a supermax this offseason, he would be ineligible for trade for one calendar year.

You don't want to pay him that much but you have to.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
