The Boston Celtics title window is open for a few more seasons after re-signing one of their stars.
Jaylen Brown is not someone who you would expect to get the richest contract in NBA History, but the Celtics were willing to pay any price to make sure Brown stays in a Celtics uniform long-term.
BREAKING: Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has agreed to a five-year, $304 million supermax contract extension with the franchise, per sources. This is the richest deal in NBA history, negotiated by agent Jason Glushon.

What Does this mean for the Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum Pairing?

This pair will be together for a long time. There have been discussions over the past couple of seasons of whether to break the pairing up, but it never made sense to do that because Boston’s best chance to win a championship is with Brown and Jayson Tatum.
This offseason, the Celtics have rebuilt their roster by trading for Kristaps Porzingis and trading away franchise cornerstone Marcus Smart
The only question that remained was, would Jaylen Brown re-sign in Boston? He alluded in his postgame press conferences that he might want out, but looking at it from his perspective, he was smart by playing it close to the vest. Players today realize the NBA is a business, and they don’t know what could happen a year or two from now.

That is crazy that Brown will make more money than four legends, and Kendrick Perkins. It shows how lucrative NBA contracts have become in today’s market.
Jaylen Brown earned this contract extension because he’s been a top-10 player in the league for the last few years and has helped turn the Celtics into perennial Eastern Conference contenders. The anguish Boston fans were feeling that Jaylen Brown would potentially leave next offseason is over. He’s back, and the title window remains wide open.
