Quite a bit less than max.    Good deal for both sides.   If he actually lives up to being the #3 pick then they get a bargain.

I don't think it's a good deal for JSJ. Unless he doesn't believe in himself. ~$20M 3 or 4 years from now isn't very much for a guy that has shown flashes and could wind up being a great player.

SGA was the second best jump shooter last year.  Guess who was first?

If there's no minimum attempt threshold, the answer is always Chris Paul, who has quite literally never missed an elbow jumper.

He's not even a starter anymore and averaged 7 ppg in the playoffs.  That's a terrible deal but hey, good for him.

Lol what. Are you under the impression that that's a lot of money? He's a good player.

OKC gave Caruso 20m a year for 4 years, and he started all of 3 games last year and averaged 7.1 points a game, lol...

20 mill a year is jack shit. If you are a solid rotation guy that’s a great number. 
 

I’ll look for Ayton in the Big3 league in a couple of years getting worked down low by Dwight Howard. 
 

Fuck OKC.

Seriously could you imagine having JSJ next to Jokic for the next 5 for 25 per. Denver would fucking KILL for that contract.

I get Ayton getting bought out. He wants a fresh start. The Blazers have a surplus of centers. Ayton needs (another) fresh start. I don't know if he's trying to get to the Lakers or what, but there are quite a few teams that need bigs. I don't think he's the worst gamble to make, depending on the salary. He's not a terrible guy, allegedly. One of the better what ifs in recent NBA history is what if the Suns didn't match the free agent offer on Ayton from the Pacers? 

The Nurkic for Collin Sexton trade makes zero sense to me from Utah's perspective. Other than clearing out minutes and shots for Ace Bailey, they gave up a pick, got the worse player at a position they didn't really need, and took on more salary. And both players are on expiring deals. WTF? While I suppose there is another move in mind, to me it just looks like Utah is leaning into the tank more than ever. John Collins and Jordan Clarkson are on the block, too apparently. I don't think they get much for either one of them. Once they unload those two, they've basically got Lauri Markkanan and a gaggle of random very young raw prospects. And one of the best coaches in the league. They just keep throwing shit against the wall and hope something sticks, but that team has been circling the drain since the Mitchell and Gobert trades. Not one of the smoothest rebuilds in recent history.

I can see that.  Just saying getting 120M on the books when you've proven to be just "solid" is good.
