The Boston Celtics are set to offer Jayson Tatum a record-breaking five-year, $315 million supermax extension, making it the largest contract in NBA history. This extension would guarantee Tatum $349 million over the next six seasons, with annual salaries escalating from $54 million in 2025-26 to $72 million in 2029-30, based on a projected $155.1 million salary cap. The offer highlights the Celtics' commitment to retaining their star player and maintaining their competitive edge in the league. The extension follows Jaylen Brown's record deal last summer, raising questions about how the Celtics will manage their salary cap to keep their star power intact.
