That’s my point guard! Well deserved
Oh shit – I seriously thought we would have waited until the end of the season. But it doesn’t sound like a crazy amount so I am glad about that. At least we can feel more comfortable with him playing for the team rather than having to show himself more for a contract
Only guaranteed for the first year as well. Interesting to see what the yearly guarantee amounts are.
All the casuals in the replies spamming “OVERPAY” lmao 😂😂😂
I would’ve waited and let him hit restricted free agency. I don’t think any team would have given him close to this much, even if he did have a good season. But Shams’ tweet indicates only the first season is fully guaranteed, so I’m fine with this. I’m still not sold on KPJ being the best backcourt pairing for Jalen’s development, though.
We have plenty of cap space so this really isn’t hurting us. I’m definitely happy 👍🏼
Still can’t believe the Cavs gave us our cornerstone PG for basically free lol
