The Boston Celtics have a big decision to make this summer. Star forward Jaylen Brown is eligible for a supermax extension that would pay him up to $295 million. Combine that with Jayson Tatum’s remaining $104 million on his deal, and the Celtics will be paying over half a billion dollars on two players.
Tatum is worth every penny. Brown is not.
Brown had an excellent regular season where he averaged career-highs in points, rebounds, and assists. He made the All-Star team for the second time in his career, and he was selected as Second Team All-NBA.
