Jaylen Brown’s four-year contract extension has $103 million in guaranteed money, per source. Another $4 million in likely incentives, plus $8 million in unlikely incentives.
In this morning’s Dump I guessed the Celtics would hold the line at $110 million and wasn’t too far off.
There’s mixed reaction on social media, but I think this is a good deal for both sides. I love Brown’s two-way game and expect big things from him this season and beyond. Locking him up now prevents the Celtics from having to match any max offer ($130 million) in the off-season.
