Absolutely genius work by lord Kleiman. After VWJ and now GG, I submit myself for self flagellation for doubting our lord and savior. Do with me what you must
For context, the #1 pick in this draft is guaranteed a contract around $10-12 mil a year. This is like mid to late 20s pick money. If you believe what people are saying that he’d go top 5 this year then this is a steal of a deal.
Is that pretty much in line with a lottery pic contract?
This is big. Very big. It won’t mean much now, but it will grow into one of the best deals we’ve done. People don’t talk about the Jaren deal often, but I still think we hypothetically had a gun to his head when he signed his deal. Klieman building a little history of getting guys for cheap in the world of overpaying role players.
amazing deal for the team and life-changing money for GG, what’s not to love?
INCREDIBLE move from this front office. GG is in double figures in 10 out of the last 14. Locking him down for $2M annually is pretty remarkable.
Holy shit what a fucking steal, VWJ and GG will be massive contributors for years to come for the Grizzlies and getting them both this cheap is absurd.
Last year team option?!!
This is some Scottie Pippen type of shit.
Hahaha, this is so awesome for us. We will give him a max in time.
Kleinman is a king and a wizard.
