Lu Dort has the worst contract in the NBA

[EBK String]

The wait is over for Luguentz Dort.

Thunder general manager Sam Presti announced Wednesday that Dort has signed a multi-year contract with the team. Terms of the deal were not released, per team policy, but Marc Stein of the New York Times reported that it's a four-year deal worth $5.4 million


He signed this deal before his playoff run, his agent should be fired. He would get more than that a year as a free agent right now. He is already one of the best defensive players in the league and put one of the best offensive players in the league in a torture chamber for 7 games.

Yup it’s horrible I understand because the odds of a undrafted player making the nba is slim so you jump at the first chance but Damn what a steal for the thunder

He's not even that good idk how this is supposedly a bad contract for him.. nikka lucky to even had the chance to be in the league. We should include him for picks since he somehow became massively overrated

I'm in a group chat with a bunch of coaches in Toronto and they were all pissed when he first signed it. Granted we're biased but yea, Dort needs to get a new agent.

He started the season in the G League.

Majority of people on this board wouldn’t have been able to pick him out of a lineup before the Houston series.

No one in his position is turning down that guaranteed money.

If i were him either fake an injury or half ass til ur last year...im not trying hard for the next 2 seasons making 1 mil a year after i was ur best player in game 7....

facts

It's not a great contract at all but at the same time OKC gave him the opportunity that no other team probably wasn't going to. He's gonna get all that back and more on the backend just with the mins he's able to get playing in OKC so ultimately it works out.

An undrafted GLeague player not in much of a position to negotiate

And ppl act like he Tony Allen...dude had 1 good series in which he made Harden work a lil harder than usual....kinda weird to crown him now esp when he provides almost nothing offensively

it wasnt even a good series...just a good game lol

 

[NoMorePie]

He is an undrafted player. If he would have one bad stretch of games he would be out the league

Now he's getting $5m to live out his dream and possibly getting more depending on play

this is not the suggested approach in any scenario. dont be greedy either. how many people have the opportunity to make $5 mil? if he dogs that contract, he wont see another check.
