Jayson Tatum to sign largest contract in
NBA history, five-year, $313.9 superman with Celtics
To the victor go the spoils.
Jayson Tatum
is a victor, having lifted the Celtics to championship No. 18 this past season.
He’s also the definition of a player who gets a superman contract: Best player
on an NBA championship team, First-Team All-NBA, averages 26.9 points a night,
and is a high-level defender. Tatum is a top 10 (arguably top-five) player in
the league and, at age 26, in his prime.
That superman
just happens to be the largest contract in NBA history thanks to the rising
salary cap — Boston offered Tatum a five-year, $313.9 million contract with a
player option on the final year, and he’s going to sign it, a story broken by
Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report and TNT.
