How the frick are the Celtics supposed to sign the mid tier borderline all star types needed to win a title when a contract like that means they will only be able to afford vet min role players?

the only thing I can think of is the Celtics plan on blowing the team soon, and trading either brown or Tatum if they don't get finals next year

Supermax contracts are a % of the salary cap (which is determined by revenue). This has the same impact any other sueprmax contract has ever had. It's just that revenue is at an all-time high, so these deals are at an all time high. Each year the supermax will be larger.

The cap goes up each year. People act like the thing is stagnant.
