Jaylen Brown Stats

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown is officially getting a five-year supermax extension worth a whopping $304 million, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. There is no player option, as the entire contract is guaranteed with no incentives, and it even includes a trade kicker. This makes Brown the highest-paid player in the league, and it's the richest contract in NBA history. While everyone knew that Brown was going to get an extension, it doesn't seem that anyone was prepared for the dollar amount. The Celtics wanted to tie up both of their superstars in their prime, and Brown looks to maintain his top-50 status in fantasy basketball.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown is reportedly getting a big contract extension soon, but those talks were put on pause when he went on the NBPA retreat. Now that he's back, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, the contract talks will resume next week. The superstar wing was due for a big payday after helping guide the team to back-to-back conference final appearances and even an NBA Finals appearance a couple of seasons ago. Brown remains a top-20 player in all fantasy formats this coming season whether he gets the extension or not.

Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens remains hopeful the organization locks up forward Jaylen Brown with a long-term contract. Stevens told reporters at the Summer League that "we want Jaylen to be here for a long, long time and we've made that clear. We're looking forward to all sitting down, and we've got time here". While Brown is under contract for the 2023-2024 season, the two-time All-Star has been eligible for a supermax extension in the neighborhood of $300 million since July 1. The 2016 No. 3 overall pick had a slow start to his career, but has racked up 23.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.5 threes per game over 248 contests since 2019-2020.

According to NBA insider Brian Windhorst, guard Jaylen Brown and the Celtics are working on a new contract. Brown is eligible for a five-year, $270 million supermax extension. However, Windhorst added that negotiations are "fragile," meaning the Celtics hope to avoid paying him the maximum amount, especially since the franchise may explore more moves heading into the 2023-24 campaign. At any rate, a deal will likely get done, although it may not happen soon. But one thing is certain, Brown is expected to remain a top-25 fantasy option in all formats, although he still has potential for growth.
