We gawk at these numbers, but with the way the salary cap is rising, it's going to be like any other max/super max. Boston is going to be in trouble if they can't get the most out Brown and Tatum in the next year or two though. There are some scenarios where they could be worse next year too. Can you imagine? Yikes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin capstone21 Posted July 25, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 way too much money going around now ... that is just crazy. It will handcuff the Celtics as they will have to give the same or more to Tatum. The funny thing is Brown is really really good but I don't consider him great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JeffS17 Posted July 25, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Max contracts on teams that are not over the apron aren't going to handcuff them any more than they have in the past the past ~8 years. The absolute dollars are higher but so is the cap, all relative. The cap is jumping 10% a season now so all contracts are going to feel like an overpay, but you have to look at the $s as a % of the cap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would benefit from each other's offensive gravity and Tatum's diverse skill set gives him lots of ways to impact winning off the ball.

Jokic is becoming the cheat code, top player in the league. Would you really pick Tatum as a better pairing than Jokic? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict Jayson Tatum will be the highest paid nba player ever as he get a contract similar to this before the CBA restrictions kick in after the ‘24 season when contract extensions will be limited to 3 years. This is where Jaybird comes in and corrects me. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think, the Bulls didn’t want to pay 30 mil a year to keep that championship team together after 98’. Now you got guys making that who aren’t even All Stars lol Brown will end up making twice that amount per year and he has never won a championship lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Tatum Supermax will be 35% of $164.5 million next offseason for $57.5 in year 1. Donovan Mitchell will be due his extension the following year with the cap at $180 mil. Trae's extension year the cap will be close to $200 mil...if he makes AllNBA he starts at $69 mil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
