More than three weeks passed since July 1, when Jaylen Brown became eligible to sign a record-breaking supermax contract extension with the Celtics, but the deal had yet to be struck.

The Las Vegas Summer League – where Brown and the Celtics first started negotiating – came and went without a deal. Brown went overseas for a Players Association event last week that stalled talks, causing some anxiety for Celtics fans as the star wing returned to Boston late last week.

But the anxiety turned into relief on Tuesday: Brown and the Celtics have – finally – agreed to a deal, a five-year full supermax extension worth $304 million, according to multiple reports. It’s the richest contract in NBA history.
