Just two weeks after winning his first NBA title with the Celtics, Jayson Tatum is reportedly set to rewrite the record books with his new contract in Boston.
Tatum is finalizing a five-year, $315 million supermax contract with the Celtics that will run through the 2029-30 season, according to The Boston Globe.
Tatum’s new deal stands as the largest deal in NBA history — surpassing the five-year, $304 million supermax deal that his Celtics teammate, Jaylen Brown, signed in July 2023.
This record-setting deal for Tatum has sat on the horizon for both Tatum and the Celtics well before the 26-year-old forward helped lead Boston to its first NBA championship since 2008.
