🔥 Big moves are happening in Boston! The Celtics are reportedly gearing up to offer their superstar Jayson Tatum a jaw-dropping five-year, $315 million supermax contract extension. 💰
According to multiple sources like ESPN and The Athletic, this deal would make Tatum the highest-paid player in NBA history! 🏆 Not too shabby for the third-overall pick from 2017, right?
\"Once these NBA Finals are over, teams are now allowed to start negotiating contract extensions, negotiating with their own free agents,\" ESPN reported ahead of Game 5. \"Which means that the Celtics will soon present Jayson Tatum with the largest contract in NBA history.\"
Tatum just wrapped up the third year of his current five-year, $163 million deal, but with a player option in 2025-26, the Celtics aren't wasting any time securing their ace. 🏀
At just 25 years old, Tatum has already made a huge impact on the league and the Celtics' future. Celtics fans, are you excited to see JT in green for years to come? 🍀
