Celtics' Payroll Reaches Record High
Team's Salary Cap History Surpasses Previous Marks
Largest Guaranteed Contract in NBA History
The Boston Celtics' payroll has reached an all-time high, with the team currently sitting at $136,021,000. This surpasses the previous record set by the 2017-18 Golden State Warriors, who had a payroll of $134,951,000.
The Celtics' high payroll is largely due to the team's recent success. The team has won the NBA championship in three of the last five years, and they are currently considered to be one of the favorites to win the title again this year.
The Celtics' highest-paid player is Jayson Tatum, who is set to make $30,352,250 this season. Other notable players on the team's payroll include Jaylen Brown ($29,644,290), Marcus Smart ($14,341,010), and Al Horford ($26,500,000).
The Celtics' high payroll has raised some concerns among fans and experts. Some believe that the team is spending too much money on its players, and that this could hurt the team's long-term success.
Others believe that the Celtics' high payroll is justified, given the team's success. They argue that the team is getting good value for its money, and that the players are worth every penny.
Only time will tell whether the Celtics' high payroll will ultimately be a success or a failure. However, one thing is for sure: the team is certainly not afraid to spend money on its players.
