    $40 mill a year is insane. And the salary cap next year is $100 mill? Not seeing how OKC can keep their big three even if they all wanted to stay.

    But I thought tons on here didn't like his game. He was a "stat stuffer" if I recall.
    Good for him. A player who puts up historical numbers deserves a historical contract!

    Good to know. I'm gonna do my PS Vue trial today then. But it's gotta be more than 19hrs right? They're having this before the fan fest on the 1st?

    I'm surprised. Impressed. I assumed he was outta there once he hit his 10 years.

    Perhaps he figured the Lakers would no longer want him once they drafted Lonzo. Or perhaps there's more to his PRP injection than we know, and he's decided to lock in that big money before injury impacts his market value.

    We don't...

    He also didn't close out on shooters at a "historical" level either.

    Imagine how hard it will be to trade him, if it comes to that. That sort of salary pretty much locks him into staying with OKC regardless of whether he or OKC want to part ways 2-4 years down the road.

    Not the 1st Blazer preseason game--the first one for the entire NBA. First Blazer preseason game is Tuesday.

    I'll take not closing out on shooter all day and night if he can do what he does.
