The cap hits for Jaylen Brown’s supermax assuming the salary cap rises up the to 10% max in 2024-25:
- 2024-25: $52.4M
- 2025-26: $56.6M
- 2026-27: $60.7M
- 2027-28: $64.9M
- 2028-29: $69.1M
Overpay, ofc, but then again, the real question here is - what other options did the Celtics have ? Which trade was actually doable, for a package of equal value in return ?
None, but that’s not going to stop the incoming wave of kneejerky hot takes
Not only will the Celtics not win a game this season, but they will cease to exist as a franchise.
