Positive News: Jayson Tatum Has Signed a Max Deal With the Boston Celtics!

I had a few crispy boys watching the #TooManyLegs Teaser and Patriots drop to 4-6 so I'll make this quick.

Jayson Tatum is going to be a Boston Celtic for the foreseeable future. LET'S. FUCKING. GO!!!!

Tatum gets the full designated rookie max extension, with the All-NBA escalators that'll take it near $200M, sources said. Tatum's agent Jeff Wechsler and Celtics finalized details today. https://t.co/SfGjPRc3J5

After the Red Sox traded future Hall of Famer Mookie Betts for an iPhone 5s and stale loaf of bread like absolute shortsighted idiots, I was worried the Boston Celtics would do something similar if they weren't able to retain 19 year old Jayson Tatum's services longterm. I did not want to see another young Boston superstar (in the making) end up traded for ha'pennies on the dollar; especially after falling for him like Graham fell for Amanda in The Holiday. He just needs to know when to pass!

Clearly Wyc Grousbeck realizes when you draft and develop an elite talent it makes much more sense to reward them for being great at their job instead of throwing them away like spoiled milk.

Sure, the Patriots lost to the Texans, the Week 11 #TooManyLegs teaser is JFK dead, and I have lunch duty in 17 hours, but Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are both locked up for the next four years. I'm actually cool with Gordon leaving; let those two get more touches and develop into one of the best 3-4 combos in the NBA. I like the Thompson and Teague signings and LOVE the Celtics draft. Now the most important piece of the roster is locked up for the next half decade. It's a great day for Boston sports.
