After leading the Boston Celtics to their 18th NBA championship, as earlier reported by Pinkvilla, Jayson Tatum is set to secure the largest contract in NBA history.

Tatum's outstanding performance, which earned him All-NBA First Team honors this season, has made him eligible for this record-breaking extension. With the negotiating window now open and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and The Athletic’s Shams Charania both reporting on the impending deal, it is anticipated that the official announcement will come following the championship parade on Friday.


The Celtics' readiness to invest in their young talent is apparent with this monumental contract offer, following Jaylen Brown's $300 million max extension last summer. Amid the celebrations in Miami and the upcoming championship parade, talks between the Celtics and Tatum’s agent are expected to commence soon.
