[Scotto] Sources: LaMelo Ball’s five-year designated rookie max extension, worth as much as $260 million, includes no player option and has a 15 percent trade kicker, @hoopshype has learned.

YES! MELO IS HERE FOR LIFE (more like the foreseeable future). YES LIFE!
Excellent
Trade kicker?
That’s kind of weird that he elected for no player option, isn’t it? I do love that he’s fine making that commitment but it doesn’t seem like something the FO would’ve pushed back against – maybe it was the tradeoff to get the 15% trade kicker added?
I don’t speak contract legalese but it would seem this contract is the definition of “this is my city”, yeah?
That’s my MVP
