    was wondering if we'd sign him, somewhat of a risk but at that price probably worth it, love it if he could get back to last year's form, wonder what guarantees or opt outs there might be?

    4 year for 28 mil. Average 7 mil per year. Is it a steal? That's pretty much the Bi-Annual exception money.

    I thought he would get 13 to 15 mil per after last season.

    Slightly less than MLE-money. Frickin' steal (not that he is worth more than MLE at this point just that some other team would have given him more when they could).

    Great deal. especially when the new CBA kicks in, this is like half of a MLE.

    If he can stay healthy (big if), it's a very team-friendly deal.

    If he is healthy, it's a great deal. If not, it's a very moveable contract. Good for the team and good for NAS to have some security given his injury history.

    yes, believe I read deal was "fully" guaranteed which is why we likely got him for this price

    Some great news! Please tell me you didn’t accidentally leave off a “1” at the beginning of that contract amount.

    LOL, I think his slow start in preseason helped as well, can he ever stay heathy is really the key for him, really good risk/reward IMO at this price

    It seems as though the Blazers, Nasir and his agent are all equally afraid he may self-destruct next time he gets bumped going up for a dunk.

    After Zach Collins I thought the team was actually learning something. I guess not.

    Not with his injury history. He's decided not to bet on himself. He didnt want to end up as one of those 1-2 million a year player that waits to get signed every year. I love Naz and think he's talented but he has yet to be anywhere close to a consistent contributed.
