Is Jalen Brown, 26.6ppg/5.2rpg/2.2apg on 49.1%/33.5%/76.5% , worth $304M/5 yrs. extension? Averages about $61M/yr but is actually worth just short of $70M in year 5. I know the cap will rise, but this seems absurdly high for the 2nd best player on a team. He is a 2x All Star and 1x All NBA.
Should we feel really ecstatic about signing Kyrie for $42M/yr?
In a vacuum it's too much imo, but for the Celtics it makes sense. I think once a team is a legit contender these types of moves are the price of contention for however long that window is open.
