Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown Eligible for Supermax Celtics Contracts After All-NBA Nods
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown just made some money.
Tatum's first-team All-NBA nod and Brown's second-team selection made the pair eligible for supermax contract extensions, with Tatum's worth an estimated $318 million over five years and Brown's worth an estimated $295 million over five seasons.
It was not a great night for Ja Morant, however:
He also retweeted the following breakdown of his absence from the All-NBA teams:
And Donovan Mitchell felt a certain way about being left off the first team:
As for the Boston pair, both made compelling cases to be All-NBA selections.
Tatum, 25, averaged career-highs in points (30.1 PPG), rebounds (8.8 RPG) and assists (4.6 APG), shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 35 percent from three.
Brown, 26, averaged career-highs in points (26.6 PPG), rebounds (6.9 RPG) and field-goal percentage (49.1 percent) while adding 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game and shooting 33.5 percent from three.
Tatum is under contract through the 2024-25 season, with a $37 million player option for the 2025-26 campaign, while Brown is under contract through the 2023-24 season.
The duo led the Celtics to a 57-25 record, the second-best mark in basketball, and the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Boston currently finds itself on the brink of elimination, however, trailing the Philadelphia 76ers 3-2 in the conference semifinals.
"The past is the past," Brown told reporters regarding his team's flat performance in Game 5's 115-103 loss on Tuesday. "We can talk about a lot of stuff that's happened in this series that could have went the other way, and it didn't. Right now, we've got in front of us a great opportunity. To mull in the past would take that opportunity away from us."
And if nothing else, Tatum and Brown received some excellent financial news ahead of Thursday's Game 6.
