The Boston Celtics have signed Jaylen Brown to a supermax contract extension worth $304 million over five seasons, making it the largest contract in NBA history to date. This move has raised questions about its impact on the team’s future ability to build a championship-contending roster under the league’s new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was designed to punish high-spending ball clubs like the Celtics.
The new CBA’s two-tier luxury tax system will limit their flexibility in the long term, potentially hindering their chances of building a winning team. The Celtics may also face challenges if they try to trade Brown in the future due to the size and length of his contract.
Will Boston regret inking the Georgia native to a supermax contract extension?
