Jaylen Brown’s contract extension seems to be the last major order of business for the Celtics this offseason, and the contract could be even larger than you think.
After he earned an All-NBA second-team nod for his play this past regular season, Brown became eligible for a supermax extension. It was originally reported that the supermax Brown could receive was a five-year, $295 million deal.
It could actually be even more than that. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Friday that Brown’s deal could be worth up to $304 million. If Brown were to sign a deal that rich, it would be the first $300 million contract given to a player in NBA history.
