You might remember how I feel: lots of money and years for a guy who hasn’t played 65 games.

No surprises there

Well, it's now official. The fate of the franchise rests on Cade's shoulders.

Honestly, $45 million per? Checks out.

No surprise as he was getting this regardless

It’s all good. He’s one guy we know can ball. Now we just need 4 more starters

Not so fast.

What would you have done? Trade him?

This was the only choice. Cade is their franchise guy, he gets the rookie max. It's a pretty simple decision and negotiation tbh unless Cade asked out or something.

He can ball, but we need to see wins

Cade needs guys to pass to... And he still scored or got assists despite the double-triple teams. He had Hayes and Ivey. I believe in Cade.

This seems dumb and incorrect. It's basically a standard deal that everyone else is reporting as done.

Not sure I would have done any differently, considering the way the rookie max extensions are working recently. (Why did Scottie Barnes get an early extension, too?) But I’d like to see him play out the year and stay healthy. We’re paying ton of money for potential.

Have to spend 90% of the cap regardless so might as well give it to Cade.

Nothing to see here. Paolo will also get a max contract next season. As long as the #1 pick is solid, he will get a max rookie extension.

Ant got one before Cade, and so did Zion despite all his injuries and issues.

It's strange that someone told ESPN that a deal wasn't close. If I'm having to guess its Cade's agent since Jeff Schwartz since they are usually the ones feeding lots of info to Woj & ESPN.

Happy for him. Good deal for us

I knew this was coming im good with it.

Im expecting a massive season from Cade next year. A full healthy offseason unlike last year. Gotta get Cade some knock down shooters to space the floor for him then its GG.

Cade needs help. Beef garbage stew and Ivey ain’t getting it done. Praying on holland.

It is something of a leap of faith. Cade hasn’t had a season where he’s worth anything close to this yet.

That doesn’t make it the wrong move- but we are banking on improvement here.

Good
