  1. Damn ok, kinda surprised. But I suppose it makes sense to not lose the asset, and at the very least heā€™ll be a tradeable contract next season.

    Lot of mixed signals around Zeke. This is a bigger contract for him then I would have expected, and I wasnā€™t even sure heā€™d get an extension at all. Interesting.

    He must be dominating in training camp. But on a real note, I think this is a great deal. The salary cap is going to explode in the next few years, so Iā€™d Zeke becomes any semblance of a good bench piece, by year four, he will be grossly underpaid.

    I think this is a great contract. Happy for both Zeke and the Nuggets. Iā€™m happy we have a bit more stability. Now if only Mal would signā€¦

  5. Why are all these mid players getting player options? Reggie got one too which makes him untradable this yr

    Itā€™s a win-win. Either he plays well and solidifies our backup big spot, or itā€™s provides us with a great contract to trade and backfill his spot with

    This is to make him a trade asset right? Otherwise…huh?

    Great move tbh. Either he’s good enough to play and then it’s easily worth the money, or he’s not and it’s a useful number for trade situations

  9. Ppl saying this is a great salary filler for a trade are crazy lol. You just can’t use a guy with no value as trade filler just because he makes a lot of money.

  10. $8 million is the new $3 million contract from 10-15 years ago.

  11. he was one of the most versatile defenders last season in advanced statistics and in the 99th percentile as an offensive rebounder. young, athletic and great motor. pretty much our vanderbilt but can shoot 3s at a high rate when he’s in the flow. great move

    At first was caught off guard by the extension but been seeing some ppl like Bobby Marks say that they thought nuggets extending zeke for 4/28 or 4/30 would be great value obv a little higher than that but with the rising salary cap honestly think itā€™s fine value wise, and thereā€™s potential for it to be a more tradeable contract too if they wanna move him as soon as next year too
