0 The Boston Celtics have recently made major headlines in the NBA world by reportedly securing some massive player contracts. It’s being suggested that the Celtics may have found a way to circumvent the league’s salary cap, given the eye-popping figures involved.
Last year, the Celtics inked a groundbreaking deal with Jaylen Brown, offering him a staggering $304 million contract. This contract held the distinction of being the largest in NBA history until just a day ago when Jayson Tatum surpassed that record by signing a mind-boggling $315 million contract. These two contracts not only shattered previous records but also made Brown and Tatum the only players in NBA history to exceed the $300 million mark for a single contract.
Towards the end of the season, the Celtics also acquired Jrue Holiday on a hefty $135 million deal, further demonstrating their aggressive approach in securing top talent.
The latest news from the Celtics camp reveals that they have now locked down Derrick White with a substantial 4-year, $125.9 million extension, ensuring that the Celtics’ starting five will remain intact until at least 2025. It’s worth noting that this deal also contains a player option, adding another layer of flexibility to the arrangement.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that the Celtics originally obtained White from the Spurs in exchange for Romeo Langford, Josh Richardson, and a 2022 first-round pick, showcasing the strategic moves made by the Celtics’ front office that they made for the star in Derrick White.
