Jalen Brown 5 years, $304 millon. Didn't see that coming. Wonder what that will do to other Superstars valuation.
And Barkley can’t get 20 million guaranteed from the Giants, wrong sport and wrong position I guess.Jalen Brown 5 years, $304 millon. Didn't see that coming. Wonder what that will do to other Superstars valuation.
Jaylen Brown, Celtics agree to record 5-year, $304M supermax extension
This is correct. It's a standard supermax contract, which he became eligible for w/ 2x all-star appearances and an All-NBA nod this past season.Probably the cap, so everyone in his area code will be signing for that (this year)
It's actually amazing how good he is for someone who can't dribble.Brown is very good but he made all nba because the forwards better than him are always injured (Kahwi, Paul George, Durant, Zion). Even Julius Randle made an all nba team in 2023 as a forward which shouldn’t happen.
Don't start following soccer...These contracts are beyond ridiculous. Dopes like us are the ones that pony up to pay. Every time I see a contract like this I say I'm done but I keep coming back.
Nice.Apparently he will be getting paid 69 mil (possibly guaranteed) in the final year of the contract
I think they will. He is a great 2 way player, pretty young, and seems to have the work ethic to improve. Every All Star/All NBA player is gonna be getting these contracts. Just gotta get used to it.Brown's weak handle was exposed many times during the playoffs...
I don't hate him, but I think the Celts are not going to get the return they would like off this contract.
I wish the owners and players made less and ticket prices went down.Everyone outraged about the size of sports contracts basically implies they'd be happier with all that money staying with the owners.
It does seem like you ought to be able to dribble left to be the highest-paid player, though
A pony, tooI wish the owners and players made less and ticket prices went down.

I don’t but really?Don't start following soccer...
The union isn't designed to help the lower paid guys. No sport is more geared toward rewarding stars. When only 5 play at a time, the impact of one is immense. No soccer star can be that impactful. Some QBs are, but they only play on one side of the ball.I wish the owners and players made less and ticket prices went down.
I don't follow this stuff closely at all but it seems the NBA salary cap is screwed up. From what I've gathered you have to be at 90 percent of cap to begin the year now. That's why Houston threw ridiculous money on VanVleet and Brooks.
It seems hard to develop a young roster when you have to spend $80 million on two vets who will demand major playing time and the ball.
Yeah but Fred VanVleet is going to be making $43 million per year.The union isn't designed to help the lower paid guys. No sport is more geared toward rewarding stars.

Ugh, sorry that reads as preachy. You know all that. I agree the ticket prices could be much lower, and I wish the league shared the revenue among players a bit more fairly, but they don't seem to care.The union isn't designed to help the lower paid guys.

Not a needed argument, but soccer with limited subs as opposed to basketball does mean individual players are pretty darn important.The union isn't designed to help the lower paid guys.
