What Jaylen Brown’s supermax means for his Boston Celtics teammates
The Boston Celtics front office has frequently expressed they are not afraid to spend money on their star players. On Tuesday morning, Brad Stevens made that crystal clear by signing Jaylen Brown to a five-year $304 million ‘supermax’ contract extension.
Despite the good news, this move may provide difficulties when it comes to paying his Celtics teammates in the years to come.
In an interview following the Kristaps Porzingis-Marcus Smart deal, Stevens said, “We’re fortunate that we were deep into the tax last year. We’ll be into it this year and have the green light to continue to do it. We just want to build a team that makes sense being together.”
