Max for the 4-year is what Siakam got: 4/130. Otherwise it's 5/170 for the 5-year. So save about $4M/year vs matching a max offer this summer, and no worry of a 3+1.
Yep, I think Danny knows the business well enough to say that the Celts saved $15 mil by signing Jaylen now. He was getting maxed next offseason.
The caveat here is that we generally DO have a feel for whether a contract is an asset, even mildly, at the time it’s signed. By that standard, since Jaylen would likely bring back minor assets if he were traded tomorrow on this deal, it’s a good contract.
Yup. This is market value and a no-braner of a deal for the Celtics.
Sad to see Sabonis stepping down.
Oh, that changes things. I was thought the contract was mildly good before, but this is a massive win for Ainge if accurate.
Agree with this and the previous post. One has to think that Danny foresees an unforeseen massive improvement.
Twitter. Is there anything it doesn't get right?
It's pure wishcasting. I like Jaylen quite a bit but overpaying for non-stars is how you ruin your cap. See, current Red Sox.
I defer to those who may have more expertise in these matters but looking at contract in isolation is one thing though I still believe most on this board are ill equipped to accurately evaluate it properly.
Meh, it's an 80% max deal with some incentives. At his current floor that's easily tradable.
