Brandon Bass' Celtics Contract: 3 Years, $20 Million, According To Report
Brandon Bass' new contract with the Boston Celtics is expected to be for three years and around $20 million, reports A. Sherrod Blakely of CSN New England. Bass' agent, Tony Dutt, told Blakely that a deal was being finalized, though he did not confirm the contract details.
Assuming Bass is indeed making that kind of money on his new contract, he will earn an annual salary similar to that of Glen Davis, the man he was traded for back before the 2011-12 season. Davis signed a four-year, $26 million deal with the Magic.
Bass averaged 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game for the Celtics last season, emerging late in the year as a great fit as a floor spacer in their pass-heavy offense.

Brandon Bass Stays With Boston Celtics, Signs 3-Year Deal, According To Report
The Boston Celtics have been very busy this offseason. They have already made Kevin Garnett the highest-paid player in NBA history, picked up Fab Melo and Jared Sullinger in the 2012 NBA Draft and are hard at work attempting to bring back Ray Allen. They will also bring back a key component of the 2011-12 Celtics squad that made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Celtics have agreed to a new three-year deal with power forward Brandon Bass, according to Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald.
In Bass' first season with the Celtics in 2011-12, he set career highs for himself in minutes per game (with 31.7) and points per game (with 12.5).
