The Boston Celtics have had a remarkable summer, securing their NBA-record 18th title last month. They have made significant moves in player contracts, with Jayson Tatum signing a five-year, $314 million extension, the richest in NBA history, and Derrick White agreeing to a four-year, $126 million extension. Additionally, the Celtics inked a four-year, $45 million extension with Sam Hauser, a player with a promising development story.
Looking ahead, Boston is set to retain all eight rotation players from their championship-winning team, with most players locked in for multiple seasons. The team is on track to have the league's first $500 million roster by the 2025-26 season, with substantial financial commitments in player salaries and luxury tax penalties.
