If Jaylen does end up signing an extension, when would that extension salary actually kick in? Would it kick in next season, or does Jaylen play next season under the qualifying offer salary? I’m curious now, as having a $20-25M salary can be a very useful trade chip for Danny to help land a big man the Celtics need. After all, the Celtics will seemingly be over the cap with no chance to bring in another max free agent for the foreseeable future. Correct me if I’m wrong, but if Jaylen does sign an extension soon, it will turn into a poison pill contract, which is very difficult to trade until the extension starts.
