How the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement affects Jaylen Brown

The NBA has tentatively agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that should have significant effects on how all 30 teams in the league operate. In particular, a number of changes are specifically designed to make teams spending heavily in pursuit of a title pay more for the privilege of hanging on to their own players.

The Boston Celtics are one of those clubs. While many of those changes will hurt Boston, there was hope the new rules on extensions might help the Celtics hang on to star forward Jaylen Brown. Currently, Boston can only give him a 120% raise on his next deal. Under the new CBA, it could offer him 140%, which would be in line with a full max contract.

But the looming potential for a supermax deal could complicate that for Boston. It is an issue Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston recently broke down for Arbella’s “Early Edition” show.
