It would be insane for player like Hauser to take a discount for anyone. Dudes already won a chip getting significant playing time. Players like him gotta get the bag.
as i said, if everybody just fishes out a forgotten $20k between their couch cushions and sends it to Wyc, we’ll be all right for the foreseeable future*
*2 weeks
PE funds only buy these kinds of things to make them as profitable and lean as possible. You better hope that doesn’t happen or else they will shed every contract outside of Tatum and Brown until they are completely under the first apron. Our best hope is a billionaire who doesn’t meddle with operations and will spend whatever it takes to win, like Balmer in LA would be perfect.
I mean, it’s less an investment and more a purchase. Either for some billionaire looking to pad his ego with a NBA trophy, a genuine billionaire Boston fan, or some combination of that.
im thinking the Jays might hate each other because Tatum just one-upped brown’s contract to show his dominance. these guys will never win a ring together!
Agreed. JB will demand a trade to join a championship contending team, or a bad team to put up record numbers and chase the MVP and all NBA he got snubbed from this year. He will do anything to get out of JT’s team, I don’t see it ever working out in Boston.
In the end, this is the only thing that matters. 5 more years of Tatum in his prime and we already have a Title. Wish it didn't include the PO, but this needed to get done
A bit worried for our future unless we get super invested owner but I guess this is what happens with every great team, it has to go downhill at some point
Yall gotta stop worrying about the billionaires and realize how huge of a dub this is to get em at a fair price for both sides. Cuz when that TV money kicks in and the cap goes up these teams are gonna be maxing guys out at 100 mil per soon enough
I’m so happy we just get to sit back, relax, and watch the next couple years. It’s a nice break from what we’ve been through since 2010. Rebuilding is exciting but having a championship team is exciting and less stressful. Now we can just watch every other team scramble their eggs trying to build a team to beat us.
According to ESPN
"Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum has agreed on a five-year, $314 contract extension, including a player option and trade kicker, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Monday."
It was only $314 not $315M. This guy just took the biggest hometown discount ever.
Laker fans are entitled and spoiled. They need to accept the fact that the Lakers are no longer a hot destination anymore. And they won’t be until Jeanie sells the team and/or overhauls the entire front office. That franchise is a sinking ship
THE SUMMER OF BIG DEUCE CONTINUES RING? ✔️ BIGGEST CONTRACT EVER? ✔️ OLYMPIC GOLD? SOON
Baby #2? Also soon
Big Deuce is dropping a number #2?
Kid's gonna be the shit
and we not even da fart 😔
Thrice Tatum OTW
No question marks it's soon. They had baby shower way back
Yup
Let's not celebrate too hard the lakers got bronny and jj reddick we might be in trouble next year
Mavs got Klay. It's a wrap
(Brilliant flair.)
Wizards got valenciunas. We have some trouble.
Happy Cake Day.
Tatum is the best American basketball player in the world. He’s the guy that will lead the next gold team.
He's also extremely drama-free and marketable, I don't think American basketball could've asked for a better new face of the league lol
Extremy marketable? State your source. 🤭
Dont stop disbelieving
Quite the Journey
I’d say I’m more likely to purchase Ruffles than I was a few years ago, but still haven’t.
Nothing controversial
his sub has bacon
Jaylen deserved it but if Tatum won FMVP, this would literally be the best possible year you can have
Is this why Wyc is selling the team?
Sell high! Absolutely
He’s selling over the next 3-4 seasons. One could argue the window for titles will be closing as he is bowing out. Seems pretty smart
He’s already got Olympic Gold
You never say no to more gold, that's like the first rule of leprechauns
LFG!!! Now do Sam "my contract is the next owner's problem" Hauser
Picked up the option yesterday but feel like we drafted Hauser insurance in the first round
Can extend him if we convince to take a discount
It would be insane for player like Hauser to take a discount for anyone. Dudes already won a chip getting significant playing time. Players like him gotta get the bag.
Yeah. He could be a starter/6th man on a decent number of teams making way better money than he would as Boston’s 8th man
I'm all for guys taking less money to stay in a good/great team where they're happy, but Hauser on 2M/y is ridiculous.
If we can afford it we gotta pay (not sure if we can obviously) but you can’t start pulling a nuggets and banking on bozos to step up
I'm not seeing the similarities between the two
The contract will be this owners problem, they’re targeting a 2028 sale
2024 or 2025 at the least, staying as governor until '28.
We can only extend him on July 9 which is in a little over a week
Retire in green Tatum !
Be more specific, imagine if he was the next Jets QB
Or even worse. A buck
Bezos better buy the C's because we are very expensive lmao
pony up your $10k like everybody else in the sub and we’ll be fine
Imagine if this sub runs the Celtics in reality though...
We gonna fire the coach every 3 weeks 😂😂😂😂
fire the coach in the middle of the game when he doesn't call timeout
And we will be up by 12 too
A necessary caveat
Let's be real no coach will make it more than two losses
We should run the team like Twitch Plays Pokemon
3 weeks? Try 3 quarters.
only if we have a self destruct button to press immediately following a loss to mitigate the doomers
I thought I saw it was 8k 4 hours ago. At the rate they are resigning folks, it maybe 15k tomorrow. And I'm in.
as i said, if everybody just fishes out a forgotten $20k between their couch cushions and sends it to Wyc, we’ll be all right for the foreseeable future* *2 weeks
Technically we could all take out personal loans, or take out equity in our homes.
Bro you think I got $10k???
That's basically what it may as well cost to go to a game for blue collar fans lol
Not if this sub has any say in operational decisions.
you can’t tell me you wouldn’t enjoy the comedy of us trading back for marcus smart and then trading him away again in the span of an hour
Keep that motherfucker the fuck away from my team!
Bezos is not from around here, but Abigail Johnson has the 💰
I too googled “richest Bostonians”
She’d never spend that kind of money. It’s not her. But Bezos has been itching to buy sports teams.
Is that the Walmart lady?
No. She is part of Fidelity
What's her net worth?
Around 30 billion
Wow, yeah okay I'd be down with that lol
Lmao “Part of fidelity” Her grandfather founded Fidelity and she’s the president and CEO and is one of the most powerful women in the world.
Nobody gonna buy this team with the big ass tax bill they’re about to have to pay lol
It'll be some PE fund
PE funds only buy these kinds of things to make them as profitable and lean as possible. You better hope that doesn’t happen or else they will shed every contract outside of Tatum and Brown until they are completely under the first apron. Our best hope is a billionaire who doesn’t meddle with operations and will spend whatever it takes to win, like Balmer in LA would be perfect.
I mean, it’s less an investment and more a purchase. Either for some billionaire looking to pad his ego with a NBA trophy, a genuine billionaire Boston fan, or some combination of that.
The franchise was bought in 2002 for $360 million and is estimated to be worth $4.7 billion 22 years later. I'd definitely consider it an investment!
That's fair but buying it now at its peak doesn't make much sense if you wanna invest.
Somebody will, I don't doubt that
Better hope for that Saudi money. Cheat code.
Can't wait for the rebranding, including a new name, of the Boston Prime.
Let’s see if it’s worth it. Maxs change year by year so this might be worth it. I think it is.
 my king
WE DID ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Hope the next owner has some cash
Might be the first billion dollar contract we see lol
2 hours ago: it might be over soon now: we’re never leaving
I was ready to pack my bags and move wherever Tatum goes
im thinking the Jays might hate each other because Tatum just one-upped brown’s contract to show his dominance. these guys will never win a ring together!
do you write for espn? if not, there’s a job for you
Agreed. JB will demand a trade to join a championship contending team, or a bad team to put up record numbers and chase the MVP and all NBA he got snubbed from this year. He will do anything to get out of JT’s team, I don’t see it ever working out in Boston.
I see why Wyc dipping.
#The Tatum takeover has commenced.
That’s my superstar!
Is it normal to have a player option in these?
For stars like these, yes
Celtics FO: YOU GET A MEGA CONTRACT. YOU GET A MEGA CONTRACT. Heat FO: ...you like Kevin Love?
In the end, this is the only thing that matters. 5 more years of Tatum in his prime and we already have a Title. Wish it didn't include the PO, but this needed to get done
sorry i dont know shit about contracts why is a player option bad
Player option = Bad for the team, good for the player. Team option = good for the team, bad for the player
If they're just spending a bunch of the future owners' money, I'll take one of them supermax contracts. If it's not too much trouble.
Shit I'll take the MLE or even the vet minimum
Wyc is just letting it fly lol
He’s jetting out.
Worth every penny
thats my champ 😤
This has been an amazing offseason! To have his after winning the championship is icing on the cake
A bit worried for our future unless we get super invested owner but I guess this is what happens with every great team, it has to go downhill at some point
Want him to retire a Celtic 💚
Bring out the Brinks truck
Don't jinx it
CONGRATS CHAMP
WE SAID WHAT TAX BILL
He deserves it Mann 🤞🏿
What a fucking rollercoaster of news today
What was the roller coaster? What did I miss?
White extension, team up for sale, Tatum extension.
Next up - my $400 million contract 
Deserved
good for him, thats a hell of a lot of money
Next owners gonna need seriously deep pockets
Extending white and Tatum were the only things we had to do this off season. Now, everything else is gravy.
Dynasty time boys. Lfg
Almost half a billion in total so far just from nba earnings guaranteed crazy shit.
"GDP of a carribean island nation" territory
SPLOOOOSH
Holy moly White and Tatum in the same day.
Yessir I hope we can keep him forever
Big 5 complete 💪
Oh yeah
Holyyyyy
gonna make sure to buy beers at the garden tonight to support this
Yall gotta stop worrying about the billionaires and realize how huge of a dub this is to get em at a fair price for both sides. Cuz when that TV money kicks in and the cap goes up these teams are gonna be maxing guys out at 100 mil per soon enough
Imagine having your pay Halliburton 80+ million a year in a couple of years
This team got to get another 2 rings with all this money they’re spending. Well deserved, but damn this will be some high ass luxury taxes.
It’s a good time to be a c’s fan 🙏🏽
I’m so happy we just get to sit back, relax, and watch the next couple years. It’s a nice break from what we’ve been through since 2010. Rebuilding is exciting but having a championship team is exciting and less stressful. Now we can just watch every other team scramble their eggs trying to build a team to beat us.
MY KING
How terrible of Tatum to overtake JB's title of the highest paid player! Clearly he's jealous of all the success JB has had this post season SMFH
EVERYONE GET IN HERE
First we’re sad now we’re happy
If tatum is as bad as they say then why give him the largest contract? it's almost like he's a great player
 I can rest now...
Fmvp next year. And he gonna finish top 3 in mvp voting this upcoming year averaging 29/8/7
JT FOR THREEEEEEEEE….MILLION PLUS!!!
WE DID IT!!!!!
Damn. We didn't waste time.
how come the Lakers don't do this with their stars? are they broke?
wycbomb
ZEROOOO
60+ mil per year , holy fucking shit that's a lot of money
getting his contract out of the way. no distractions
According to ESPN "Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum has agreed on a five-year, $314 contract extension, including a player option and trade kicker, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Monday." It was only $314 not $315M. This guy just took the biggest hometown discount ever.
its cause the st louis area code is 314 lol
Does the trade kicker help the team because if he demands a trade then it’s harder for the team trading for him to get him??
Can't believe the two guys in my profile picture have each signed the largest contracts of all time
Best year ever
Underpaid
The price Wyc is asking for the Celtics keeps going up and up.
My captain. My king.
Unreal
Brad Stevens can have my kids
LETS GOOOOO
Extended both d white and Tatum in the same day , it feels so surreal
Underpaid.
It’s good for a future investor to know there will be stability (and insane profit) for the foreseeable future.
PAY THE MAN!
Print that money,
This is the most things that have ever happened in one day ever
Repeat is back on baby
Man they signing everyone to new deals I like it. The Celtics know ball
Anyone have a rough number of how much it would all be for the whole team next season plus tax?
Wow that’s insane. Good for him well deserved 🏆
Oil money will save us
Whomever buys this team I hope likes spending money cause, these contracts are crazy! Happy we're bringing the keys back for awhile now.
Contract for you, contract for you, a contract for everybody!!!
Wow, he agreed to that?
Sounds mutually beneficial for a long time.
Wyc really built a championship team, paid everyone, and then handed the bill off to someone with way more money than him. I love that man.
Insane. They kept saying they were going to go deep into the tax if it meant banners. Figured they were just spouting off, but holy shit.
Wyc you goat
While I have no problem with this, I just don't want the next guy to be a cheapie.
Last year it was Jaylen who got paid. Result champion. This time Jayson got paid let's go for a repeat. 💚
I just fell to my knees in Ralph’s can’t wait to continue clowning on the lakers fans here
Wyc you have done miracles on me, enjoy retirement champ
Does anyone know how much in tax this team is going to be paying over the next few years?
I hope he bows out of the Olympics and rests up.
Deserves more tbh
Retaining this core is so important. Im glad the celtics arent making the same mistakes as the nuggets
Time to do the Jaylen Brown and show he's a supermax player.
all those lakers "tatum is gonna follow kobe and go to the lakers" fans going to be in shambles. Retire a C, King.
They’re dumb. Because if Tatum truly wanted to follow/honor Kobe, he would stick it out with one team his entire career..just like Kobe did lol
oh i know, i just always thought it was so funny that they really think that the lakers are *soooooo* much better team to play for than boston.
Laker fans are entitled and spoiled. They need to accept the fact that the Lakers are no longer a hot destination anymore. And they won’t be until Jeanie sells the team and/or overhauls the entire front office. That franchise is a sinking ship
hearing this as a mostly dc sports fan (besides celtics) is funny to me. while i dont disagree but boston fans can be just as entitled and spoiled.
LETS GOOOOOOOO DYNASTY BOYS
