No way should a agent lock their clients into these kind of deals
He'll be out performing that deal by this time next season. Who are these guys agents? Should've done a two year deal tops. Even if OKC didn't want him after this season the cats out of the bag. Other teams would've scooped him up in a heartbeat
These guys went undrafted with no future guarantee. You take take the first solid contract you can get that can keep you in the league to get that pension. These type of contract are the type of of contracts that 2nd rounders and undrafted rookies aim for. If they outplay their contract, it’s a little disheartening but they’ll still be a young player when they hit free agency. Dort is still going to get paid in his mid twenty’s.
I bet Pj Tucker wishes he got this type of deal when he was a rookie or second year player.
These type of contracts keep you from overseas.
Everybody who come into the league ain’t getting that money. Dort and Brown are both making a million annually Off these contracts from being two way contract.
Most second rounders and all undrafted players make less than a million.
