Jayson Tatum getting paid HUGE amounts of money! Yep, you are reading that title correctly. The Celtics and Jayson Tatum came to an agreement that will make Tatum crazy rich.
The contract is 5-years, $163 million dollars but can easily go up to $200 million dollars. This comes as no shock as this contract happened with Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz. All he has to do is just earn an All-NBA spot to get the $200 million dollars.
The third overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft is making a name for himself. He was in last year’s NBA All-Star, becoming certain of attention, and skyrocketing his averages. The face of the Celtics, their key franchise player is ready to get back to work; of course with the new contract, and with all the new pieces.
The Celtics have been making so many free agency moves within 48 hours, how? They acquired Jeff Teague, Tristan Thompson, and now locking up their star player. However, they have given up pieces too. Take note of Gordon Hayward, who signed with Charolette, and Enes Kanter. Kanter went to the Trail Blazers via a three-team trade.

According to the man himself, during an event promoting his sneaker and apparel company 741 Performance, said he’s going to spend majority of his offseason in Boston and continue to weigh his options for recovery.
Brown spent playing the postseason dealing with a partially torn meniscus in his right knee, which has now led to possible considerations of undergoing knee surgery to repair the damage.
While it’s still an option, Brown wants to focus on consulting doctors and resting as much as humanly possible.
“l got a lot of doctors I gotta get evaluated with — see the potential for surgery versus no surgery, wait to speak to the [Celtics] organization,” Brown said. “For now, it’s just rest and recovery. I’m taking a step back from a long season. Mentally, it was a lot of stuff going on.”
With Jayson Tatum, torn Achilles, out most likely for the entire season, Brown will be seen as the number one option for the Boston Celtics. The Celtics will have to rely heavily upon the former Finals MVP in Tatum’s absence.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Boston Celtics have confirmed through an MRI that superstar Jayson Tatum has suffered a torn right Achilles.
While Boston expects Tatum to make a full recovery, he is more than likely to be out for all out next season. A devastating blow after he led them to the NBA Finals and signing a shattering $314 million deal.
The injury occurred during the late stages of Game 4 against the New York Knicks. This was a non-contact injury where he couldn’t put any weight on that injured leg.
Fans saw him being carried off the court and immediately on a wheelchair to get medical attention.
Despite the loss and injury, the 27-year-old left it all out on the court. He recorded 42 points, eight rebounds, four assists, four steals, and two blocks.
According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Boston Celtics are expected to get back Jrue Holiday for Monday’s Game 1 against the New York Knicks.
Boston has been banged up with injuries since the beginning of their series against the Orlando Magic; notable names being Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jaylen Brown.
Beyond those three, a very notable name missing was Holiday. He’s been dealing with a strained right hamstring.
The medical staff has given the defensive-minded 34-year-old a clean bill of health to be able to play Monday. This is great news for the Celtics, who are going up against a tough matchup.
Overall, Boston does not have anyone else on their injury report.
