Jayson Tatum is getting paid handsomely for his efforts in bringing the NBA title back to Boston, as the Celtics are reportedly giving him a five-year, $315 million supermax extension.
Jayson Tatum’s summer just got a lot better after winning his first career NBA title. The Boston Celtics have reportedly reached an agreement with Tatum on a five-year, $314 million supermax extension with a player option that makes it the largest contract in NBA history, according to multiple reports. The 26-year-old star played a major role in the Celtics defeating the Dallas Mavericks in five games to claim the franchise’s first championship since 2008. During that series, Tatum averaged 22.
5 assists per game with a 46% field goal rate over 513 games. He’s finished top six in MVP voting the past three seasons, and figures to be a perennial All-Star candidate as long as he stays healthy on the hardwood. The Celtics didn’t just dish out a contract to Tatum either. They reportedly agreed to terms on a deal for Derrick White, the versatile guard who averaged 15.2 points while shooting a career-high 39.6% from three-point territory this past season to help Boston to victory.
