NEW: Reports say that Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics have agreed to a supermax extension that would make him the NBA's highest-paid player.
That percentage jumps to nearly 90 percent in 2025-26 and would force president of basketball operations Brad Stevens to get very creative filling out the rest of his roster if he wants to keep Tatum, Brown and Porzingis together.
Those are future problems, however, and in the short term, Brown is guaranteed to be a Celtic through at least the 2023-24 season due to the supermax's one-year no-trade clause. While turnover issues plagued Brown during the postseason, he's coming off a career season in which he averaged 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game on 49.1 percent shooting.
The Celtics are banking on Brown carrying that momentum into the 2023-24 campaign and reaching a new level to help Boston raise Banner 18.
