The cap hits for Jaylen Brown’s supermax assuming the salary cap rises up the to 10% max in 2024-25:
- 2024-25: $52.4M
- 2025-26: $56.6M
- 2026-27: $60.7M
- 2027-28: $64.9M
- 2028-29: $69.1M
The Celtics will consistently get beat in the playoffs going forward by doubling Tatum and leaving Brown open.
That’s not the behavior of a super max player
Based on them being as successful as almost any young duo ever has been as the 1-2 stars on a team?
Look when other all time greats won their first title. The difference between Tatum/Brown and others at the same age isn’t not winning a title. It’s how consistently they’ve been in the mix.
