The Boston Celtics just pulled off the BIGGEST STEAL in the NBA with Payton Prichard 😳

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Boston has agreed to a 2-year, $44.2 MILLION extension with Payton Pritchard.

But here’s the CRAZY part.

Pritchard still has TWO YEARS remaining on his current contract, where he’ll make just $7.76 million and $8.3 million.

When you combine those salaries with his new extension, the Celtics are essentially paying Pritchard $60.26 MILLION over the next FOUR YEARS.

That’s an average of just $15 MILLION per season!

And we’re talking about a former Sixth Man of the Year who just averaged 17 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.2 assists as a starter last season.

With NBA salaries continuing to SKYROCKET, this contract could become one of the BIGGEST BARGAINS in basketball.

Did the Celtics just pull off one of the BEST contract extensions in the NBA 👀
