That’s an absolute steal.
Get that bag Nick
Love it. He’s been a good backup center this year. Really made strides from last year to this one. Him and Mark are a solid center rotation
I like it!!
Love this deal and I’m really starting to appreciate Mitch’s approach with 2nd rounders thus far – if they’re cheap, keep em, if they can get us value but are demanding too much, get more picks for them. Low risk in signing guys like Cody/Richards at sub-MLE deals but those are type of roleplayers that can give us legit playoff depth if the main core gets good enough.
How did he not get like.. 8 or 9mil minimum? That’s a low key insane contract. Guess he wanted to secure a contract and set himself up. Happy for him (and us), but man definitely should’ve got a BIT more
I love it.
Mitch working wonders
Hell yeah
That’s an absolute steal. He’s been really good in Mark’s abscense and is a very solid back-up center. Also nice that he’s still on the younger side. He’s one of the best offensive rebounders in the league, solid finisher, big presence in the paint on both sides of the floor and has been playing some solid defense as of late. Obviously not Mark-level but he’s really been racking up those blocks, 1.5 BPG on 17.6 MPG in the last 30 games and 2.3 BPG since Mark’s injury.
Clean affff
That’s an awesome deal! LFG
From a sugar plantation to 5 mil a year. Let’s go nick! Proud of you!!
Amazing steal
Huge get for us. We finally have the center position locked up.
Nick instantly a fan favorite with that deal
Dudes a baller for sure
Let’s go!
We’ve finally solidified our Center position. He’s a prime backup in the league
