Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum had those contracts because all the success they got because their team was competitive, the value of a player increase in a better way if they have a great team, the gamble is being a great player in a great team, instead of being the best player on a bad team, and he is also reaching heights that in perspective is awesome. Dan said it perfectly, winning gets you paid. Rick Brunson, Jalen's Dad had an interesting récord of being the only nba player with no guaranted contract in his 9 seasons, so I think they know something about being patience, and having perspective for the outcome of a sports career.
Mahomes didn't "give up" anything. When he signed he signed as the highest paid QB in the league, it just felt/seems like a deal bcuz he could've waited until that current deal was up & signed a year or two later & he'd have gotten more. But he still was slotted as the highest paid QB when he signed
