#1Celtics paying Brown most in NBA history is shamefulTags: None -
#2Yeah Agreed. Brown a good player but not worth 60 Million a year. Unreal.Comment -
#3NBA salaries as a whole are a total joke, just the way it is now. People wonder why NFL rbs and other positions whine and moan about their salaries. NFL is light years more popular but not a single player has a yearly salary above Jaylen Brown hahaComment -
#4Biggest extension isn't it? Not biggest deal? Celtics are doing what they have to do. They are not a FA destination for stars -black stars I should say ...similar to Utah. Realistically they could do a lot worse.
I wonder if this has an effect on chemistry with old issues resurfacing. Brown feels he's on the same level as Tatum, and now he's getting paid like it he will feel empowered. No Smart around anymore to call them out for selfish play.Comment -

303.7 million for 5 years
most expensive deal in NBA history
what a joke. Guy turned the ball over constantly in playoffs
he is not even among the best players in the league.
Celtics organization is not what it used to be.
Let's remember this post when the season starts. Chance to fade the Celtics.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -

#7What do they do with the money instead? Lose him and then what? Free agents don’t go to Boston that’s been known for many many years.Comment -

#10Obviously the Celtics don't think they can upgrade at the PG/SF position, so they decided to (over) pay Brown.Comment -

i was shocked by that contract
i think a big part of it was "mea culpa" for dangling him as trade bait for two straight years.Comment -
#12A lot of people on here don't know their ass from their elbow. Maybe you lot think Mr loyalty "for so long" Lillard would be a better #2 to Tatum.Comment -
#13Celtics are favourites to win the "NBA Cup".
I reckon the NBA Cup will, in time, have all the prestige of a summer league championship.

They need a point guard. Not that Smart was a real point guard, he wasn't. It's just bad structure.Comment -
#17But where do they spend the money? They invested in him early, if they just let him walk, then they get nothing except maybe C level return on him through a trade then the Celtics flounder to like 6-8 and go out first round. Then Tatum leaves in 2 years because the team is no longer competitive and now it’s a full rebuildComment -
#18But who can they realistically get right now? I think they are stuck with Brown so they paid him with the guarantee they would at least be competitive in the EastComment -

#21A lot of money for a player and team that will still come up short.Comment -
#22He won't be the highest paid for very longComment -

#24^^Exactly. The way the negotiations roll out, this has been happening since Mike Conley in 2015 or whenever that was. And everyone went GASP!!! HIGHEST PAID EVER!!! The deal is the deal gents. Teams aren’t going “we think you’re the greatest player in the history of the universe therefore we are going to compensate you accordingly.” The deal is the deal. They don’t pay him the hometown max, he’ll go somewhere else and get a max. They wanna keep him obviously so this is what they do and it’s not the hit you think it is to their bottom line because they have more money to give to players as a result of the negotiations. Then someone else comes along soon enough who will be the highest paid player ever and y’all will all go OH NO WHAT THE FUKKIN BLOODY HELL MATE and the threads just never get old I tell you whatComment -

I think he's overpaid, but so what?
It's not like he doesn't put in all the work, he does.
Good on him, he got paid as they like to say.Comment -
#27This. I think their problem, is that they had a virgin coach with little coaching support last year. My mind is that they hired 3 assistants all of which have eyes for his job. Seems like a recipe for disaster??Comment -

#29It's about $$/ADVER. Barring internal coaching issues noted above, This team is EC finals bound, and consequently a cash cow for owners. All they actually want.
Check out the WAS NFL whatevers, Ballmer, etc, and sports ownership is a cash cow, why? advertising. Runs the world we don't live in but watch and only hopefully live in. The $$ is insane and now the players are getting their piece.Comment -
#30It's more about timing. It was sad when KAT signed extension for 52 mil/yr making him highest paid. at least brown is a max effort player. In the near future many all stars will be grossly overpaid. I remember when Kobe signed 2 yrs for 50 mil and that was a big deal. the nba salary is accelerating at a high level with the tv deals and players union.Comment -

#32Celtics were in deep shit as brown is one of those not right in the head clowns who would of chucked a massive sook if he wasn't offered the max as guy would be offended and bring up unrelated history shit and cause heaps of negative attention to the team/front office, I reckon Boston would of traded him but would of only got peanuts whilst Lillard pretty much said no to the Boston interest in himComment -

#34Many next contracts will be the biggest. Just depends who is next up for max money. A guy like Anthony Edwards is smiling. No reason he shouldn't get as much or more. Also watch Tyrese Halliburton, Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Maxey, Desmond Bane, Tobias Harris, Porzingis. All coming up within the next season for wtf money.Comment -
