Rose Rule makes Jayson Tatum eligible for 5-year deal at 30% of cap

After being named All-NBA Third Team, Jayson Tatum is eligible to receive a 5-year deal worth 30% of the NBA salary cap beginning in the 2021-22 season. The Celtics have until the start of the 2020-21 season to reach an agreement with Jayson, and right now the season is expected to start (at the earliest) on December 25, 2020.

It is called the "Rose Rule", and it allows a rookie contract extension of five years at 30% of the salary cap for a player meeting certain requirements, making an All-NBA team being what applies here. This is what that could mean (per NBC Sports A. Sherrod Blakely):

A five-year deal with a salary cap of $125 million would pay Tatum $181.25 million.
The first-year salary of such a deal would be $31.25 million, with an eight percent raise ($2.5 million) each of the remaining years.

There seems little chance that Danny Ainge won't go with the 5-year max deal. Tatum's playoff numbers are astounding - 40.6 MPG, 25.7 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 5.0 APG, 1.0 SPG and 1.2 BPG. And he has proven to be an iron man, avoiding injuries that have plagued some of his teammates.

Jayson is no longer a star-in-the-making. He is there now. He will get his max contract, and Ainge will have to figure out the rest - how does he fit these high salaries into the next salary caps without continually going into Luxury Tax territory. Look for more team-friendly rookie deals and free agent contracts in the coming seasons.

He was tried, convicted and sentenced for the murders at Superior Court , corner of Elm Stree t and Gorham Street, Lowell, Massachusetts.

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik

Nik Stauskas adds "shooting with size" voiced by Brad Stevens

As a 6'6" shooting guard, 28-year-old Nik Stauskas adds that shooting with size sorely needed by the Boston Celtics. Drafted 8th-overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2014, Stauskas has bounced around to various teams since then. Nik Stauskas' deal with the Boston Celtics includes non-guaranteed salary for the second season in 2022-23, a source tells @celticsblog . — Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) March 4, 2022 Nik has never averaged more than 9.5 points per game in the NBA, but Boston is most likely counting on his production for Grand Rapids in the G League as the incentive to sign him. In 17 games thus far, he has averaged 24.7 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 4.8 APG - while shooting 50% on field goals and 45% on treys. Nik Stauskas is signing a two-year deal with the Boston Celtics, his agents Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Stauskas had an historic week, scoring 100 points on 57 and 43 point performances in back-to-back games for Grand Rapids. — Adrian Wo
