Damian Lillard trade update via @wojespn:- The Heat are the “most motivated” team to trade for Lillard.- The Clippers would love to be involved in the process, but they don’t have the necessary assets Portland is seeking.- The Trail Blazers don’t love Miami’s offer, but it… pic.twitter.com/VuRdMU5bXy— Evan Sidery (@esidery) July 11, 2023

According to a league source, Jaylen Brown is headed overseas for an NBPA event and contract negotiations with the Celtics are expected to pause while he’s gone. Both sides remain confident that a deal will be struck, but there will be a delay. More: https://t.co/YYshy7Jb6j— Adam Himmelsbach (@AdamHimmelsbach) July 14, 2023

kinda sounds like boston does not want to get the superest of maxes to jaylen brown, idk!!!

zach lowe said recently that they were negotiating over ancillary stuff such as trade kickers & whatever but, this feels more substantial than that
― J0rdan S., Friday, 14 July 2023 19:12 (nine months ago) link
at the same time there hasn't been any whispers of him going elsewhere so it's prob fine
it is an interesting test case, potentially, for the idea that in the new CBA you can't just give every good to great player the full max just bcuz they're eligible for it and want it

yeah thats what the local guys have been saying too, and i do think resigning him is the most likely outcome, but idk seems kinda weird
― lag∞n, Friday, 14 July 2023 19:14 (nine months ago) link
hes at that awkward level where hes good but overrated by box score stats / all-nba status so you can't really prove hes not worth the supermax to the people who matter, even if he isnt
― ciderpress, Friday, 14 July 2023 19:29 (nine months ago) link
obv you have to do it though as a true contending team
― ciderpress, Friday, 14 July 2023 19:31 (nine months ago) link
theoretically a team could sign a guy for more than the max but less than the full supermax, guy still gets more than he can elsewhere and the team save a lil bit, not sure if itll ever happen except maybe in a hometown discount sort of way

i feel like jaylen is going to sign whatever deal is available now once he's back from his trip but will get some satisfaction from making everyone wait around for him

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. Fully guaranteed, with a trade kicker.

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 July 2023 15:16 (nine months ago) link
celtics got no player option and jaylen got the trade kicker
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 July 2023 15:17 (nine months ago) link
certainly more than youd like to pay him but what are you gonna do
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 July 2023 15:18 (nine months ago) link
barring major injury should be a pretty tradable contract for the life of the deal considering jaylen is 26 and the type of player who can fit in anywhere
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 July 2023 15:20 (nine months ago) link
this celtics roster you can see the vision their ceiling is prob higher now but its a pretty dicey road
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 July 2023 15:22 (nine months ago) link
that a chunk a change i tell you what
Here’s what Boston could be on the hook for if the salary cap jumps 10% over the next 2 seasons:Jaylen Brown $304M (starts in 24-25)Jayson Tatum $338M (starts in 25-26)— Bobby Marks (@BobbyMarks42) July 25, 2023

ultimately you still gotta feel as good about tatum and brown longterm as just about any duo in the league. certainly in the east
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 25 July 2023 15:25 (nine months ago) link
yeah theres not a team that wouldnt pay them, but it does make getting and keeping other guys harder when two players are making that much
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 July 2023 15:27 (nine months ago) link
if jayson can take the next step into true mvp contender status theyre looking pretty good, if not some balls have to bounce their way
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 July 2023 15:30 (nine months ago) link
they should have added a mechanism to the CBA where if you extend a player you drafted it counts less against the tax or something. the celtics shouldn't have to feel queasy about extending two players of that caliber
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 25 July 2023 15:32 (nine months ago) link
yeah like dont tax the supermax part, wld be good
