Great job putting this behind us.

Now he has to live up because realistically this is the only year we'll have all these guys together.

Heal up and let's get the season started!

That equates to a starting salary in the neighborhood of 23.5 mil the first year.

What a steal of a contract!

Great news - hope this improves his health dramatically <wink>

He did do 5 on 0 drills after this dropped. For the last 10 minutes of practice

Fantastic News! Ant calls Jaden the team's MVP. TC has been on a roll since last trade deadline. Conley, NAW, Lennie, Naz, Shake, TB, Ant signed without a player option, Garza, Nix and Jaden signed below $150M. After two bad trades (Rudy and Moore), TC has been flawless and I think I will forgive him, especially if he can keep KAT and Rudy together. On paper, we got a team that can match up with pretty much anyone in the West.

Seems like a reasonable deal compared to some of the worst fears. I wonder how much that punch affected his market value? For example, if that hadn't happened and he played a strong Denver series that we lose 4-2, could he have gotten 5 yrs @ >150M? We'll never know I guess, but something to ponder.

Great news!

According the Financial Cap:
Ant and Jayden are signed for another six years.
Kat is signed for another five years.
Naz is signed for another three years.
Also Rudy, Wendell Moore and Josh Minot֫ signed for another three years.

If I understand correctly, at the end of the season (or before) we will have to choose between KAT and Rudy.

I choose KAT over Rudy.

KAT is more talented, younger and ready to hand the reins to Edwards.

On the other hand, Rudy is the odd man out there who may be on the decline and will need to find a team that will take his contract for whatever it is possible (Maybe San Antonio?).

I also believe it will be easier and cheaper to find a defensive center to replace Rudy.

Eitan, the Wolves don't have to trade KAT or Gobert. I'm hoping they keep them both.

A healthy McDaniels and we don't get Denver at all. We get all the teams the Lakers beat to get to the WCF.
