Not sure he would take 33 but if it was 33 and all 33 hit each year it is hard to manage because it takes up so much of your cap each year$33 million in this case. And it certainly is 'a big whack', but considering that they will easily have $80 million in cap room this year, it becomes much more manageable. And if and when that new CBA is worked out? Boom! The entire salary cap will be shooting up dramatically.
Long term deals have fluff in them that puts a bunch at the end that never gets paid but makes early years cheap
That’s why owners want long deals
I could see him maybe doing less like this just because it’s all real money but not sure how well it works for team
That’s basically half your money this year and haven’t looked going forward but Dlaw and Zeke will get more expensive going forward
As a player I’d rather have money I know I will get versus money I’m almost guaranteed to never get
