preface
According to the latest news from the league, Jaylen Brown from the Celtics, if selected to the All-NBA team this season, will receive an early contract extension of up to 5 years and $290 million. As the second in charge of the team, Jaylen Brown's value span this time is indeed a little unacceptable. You know, the size of his last contract was only $106 million for 4 years, and his average annual salary was nearly $25 million. Moreover, Tatum, as the leader of the team, is only holding a five-year, $163 million contract at this stage.
But in fact, in an interview with the Boston Globe, Jaylen Brown said that he was indeed eligible for a super top salary. First of all, they are the second-best team in the league, and Brown is also a top 10 player in the league in points per game, and his offensive scoring efficiency is very efficient. In addition, in Tatum's absence and dumb time, it was Brown who showed his ability to stand alone and played absolute dominance. Moreover, he has also had a very good attendance rate in this season, and he is no longer the core player who affects the stability of the team. Therefore, if he can make the All-Star team again, it is entirely possible to get a super top salary.
Brown will eventually raise his eyebrows
Over the years, the Brown Greens have not been in a good position. As a rookie, the whole team revolved around Thomas Jr., and Brown didn't get the team's attention at all. As a result, in those two seasons, Brown averaged only about ten points per game, which did not show the value that a scouting show should have. And then when Thomas Jr. was traded, the airborne Irving snatched it again, and the team status that belonged to Brown and the time to prove himself were postponed again. Later, after surviving Irving, Tatum, who was also from the scouting show, became a representative figure of Boston's youth mainstay, and naturally became the boss of the team.
It is no exaggeration to say that looking at Brown's career over the past few years, he can definitely be called a bad time. And in the last two seasons of the journey. Brown partnered Tatum and played at an all-time competitive level. Especially on the Finals stage last season, he once surpassed Curry and Tatum and became the MVP favorite on the Finals stage. In the course of this season, he also averaged 26.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, playing the core value of the championship. But in fact, even if he has been free from injury and maintained a steady output in the past two seasons, he has not received much respect from the team.
Just last offseason, after learning of Durant's trade request, the management of the Green Army immediately put Brown on the shelf and offered the Nets a trade offer. Obviously, no matter how good Brown has been in the past, he is not on the radar of team management. But today, if the Green Army wants to reach the league's highest podium at the fastest speed, it must rely on Tatum and Brown, who play the offensive aggression of a historic duo. Therefore, it is no wonder that Brown can shout that he is indeed qualified for the top salary in the process of giving interviews to the media.
epilogue
Objectively analyzed, after the baptism of last season's finals, the Green Army has become more mature. They are no longer the ordinary youth mainstay. Both Tatum and Brown have developed their ability to stand alone. Moreover, the team of Ness Horford, Gwee, Smart and Lowe Shao have also performed well on the defensive end. In addition, Brogdon, as the best sixth man, can also lead the players of the second team to play aggressively in the process of showing himself. If the Green Army refuses to keep Brown, it will be difficult to find a star player who is more suitable for the Green Army than him.
In addition, the situation now is that the other teams are already starting to move while they see Brown playing value. Among them, Lillard, as the leader of the Trail Blazers, has publicly expressed his willingness to cooperate with star players. And Yahoo Sports star Jake Fischer revealed that Jaylen Brown is the focus of the Blazers offseason.
