Boston Celtics superstar Jaylen Brown has been heavily involved in the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement as one of the vice presidents of the NBAPA, which was agreed upon by the team governor’s and players association.

The new seven-year agreement will allow teams to offer-and-sign veteran players to an extension up to 140 percent of that player’s previous deal, which is set to start in the 2023-24 season.

The current CBA allows team’s to offer only 120 percent of a player’s current salary as the starting point in a new contract. That 20 percent is a positive variance for the players and it should be for the teams as well, as it should be a priority to keep your best talent. 

Here’s what the new CBA means for Jaylen Brown:

Brown’s current max offer with the old CBA:

• 4 years, $161 million

Brown’s current max offer with new CBA:

• 4 years, $189 million

Brown’s current supermax offer with new CBA if he makes All-NBA: 

• 5 years, $290 million

These changes allow a team to offer their player a regular-max contract that was proved fair and worthy by the player’s association, without further criteria of being voted into All-NBA, for example. 

It also gives the player more of a reason to stay with their current team. In a place they’ve solidified themselves in the community, fanbase, and organization.

For Brown, he can sign a contract extension very close to $200 million without making an All-NBA team. He becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2024. But this is the type of contract the Celtics can offer him this summer, showing Brown they’re committed to him and now allowing him to go into free agency.

The path is certainly in Brown’s hands, regardless if he’s voted as All-NBA or not, it’s hard to see Brad Stevens not offer Brown the contract he deserves, and it’s easier to do so now with this new CBA deal.

One last thing to keep in mind. The Celtics will always be the team that can offer Brown the most money.
