Lu Dort has the worst contract in the NBA

[Rekkapryde]

Look at what the Raptors did with Van Vleet as to how you sign and undrafted player with "potential"

2 yrs/2 yrs then let him get his bag..

what kinda contract is this

 

[Piff Huxtable]

I could understand him signing a 4yr/12 million deal, but he basically signed a multi-year minimum contract

that contract is Pippenesque

He had no other options....his only other option was a non guaranteed 2 way deal where he was gonna play the 1st year in the G League...

 

[jwinfield]

He got his foot in the door but now he reazlies instead of getting 4/60 next year hes stuck in this contract for 3 more years simply because the team had leverage...Short term win for OKC but in the long run they will lose because hes gonna walk...

So the undrafted FA that signed a deal for a guaranteed $5M got what he wanted.

Pro sports is more complex than yes and no beloved...

That was pre-two way.

And the truth is, the Moses Browns of the world are the guys you either use as incentive in a trade for a bigger star or really cheap bench production which if you’re not in a buyout destination, doesn’t exist.

He signed a 2 year deal as an undrafted player,it wasnt a 2 way...

OKC is doing what a lot of other contenders should be doing in getting cheap bench production to compensate for the limited flexibility with max contracts.

So basically OKC is not competing for anything in the next 5 years and Shai should ask for a trade....

Will Shai even be on the team in 5 years with all of the picks that they have coming in? The majority if not all of these players won't be on the roster in 5 years with all of the picks that OKC have coming in.

That's not farfetched to say.

OKC would rather have foundational pieces then cheap bench talent...if they could have there choice.

There doing what they are doing now because they have no other choice and CANT compete.

If they tried to win i would say yes,if they are in a permanent rebuild hes prolly gone before his rookie deal is over....

I know, but they are still doing what other teams should do. If you have a team with 2+ plus max contracts, then you find as many cheap players and production as you can to fill out the roster.

That's why a lot of teams are in a fukked up situation now as they have no picks and no players in development than can help out on the roster. The Clippers come to mind.

They'll give him the max contract as I believe he's extension eligible after the season season is over. Now whether he remains with the team for the duration of that contract remains to be seen. They kinda have to keep him for now as I think people and the league will step in as it will be even more obvious of the tank job they are trying to pull.
