“ESPN” reported on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time) that the Boston Celtics signed Jason Tatum and Derek White to extend their contracts.
Boston showed overwhelming performance in the 2024 Final and won the title in five games. It is the first time in 16 years that Boston has won the title since the 2008 Final when Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen played. 메이저사이트
Their dream does not stop at just one championship. Despite huge luxury tax and increased penalties due to CBA rule changes, Boston is dreaming of more than a repeat.
To do so, Tatum and White’s contract extension is a matter of course. The final MVP went to Jaylen Brown, but Tatum is the team’s ace, and White is the league’s best four options and housekeeper.
Boston’s plan to achieve its dream was different on a scale. First, it awarded the new heart of Celtic Pride a five-year, $314 million Super Max contract. This is the NBA’s largest contract ever.
With the deal, Boston will be accompanied by two one-two punch Tatum-Brown, who signed contracts worth nearly 300 million U.S. dollars, for a longer period. Both players are franchise stars of the Boston Red Sox.
On top of that, White signed a four-year, $125.9 million extension. White’s trade from San Antonio was his best option.
In the meantime, Boston will spend more than $198 million in salary on five key players (Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Zru Halladay and Derek White) during the 2025-2026 season. The $200 million best five has never been seen in NBA history.
As such, Boston’s will to build a dynasty is strong. Will Boston, the NBA’s most 18-time champion, be able to protect the throne next season?
