It has been a foregone conclusion that Jayson Tatum would sign a super max contract extension this summer, but there was some fear after the Celtics acquired and extended Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday that they might have to let Derrick White go. A financial casualty of Jaylen Brown making All-NBA a year ago and getting an additional 8 figures a season.
But put those fears to rest as Celtics ownership doesn't have any desire to break up this championship team anytime soon and are willing to pay whatever luxury tax is necessary and deal with whatever penalties are levied for surpassing certain NBA luxury tax aprons.
