like Cam J last year, I'm guessing the topline is a bit inflated by some incentives (hence the $96m gtd).

Hopefully you are right with the incentives inflating the deal. I hope it is front loaded also.

Yes. He's good for "the culture"

I don't mind it.

I can take or leave Claxton... but having someone who can serve as a vet with this rebuild team, and not to mention a pretty versatile switch defender, can't hurt.

Contract seems par for the course.

Im good with it. He had to be the priority.

When you're rebuilding, you have to overpay a bit. The Nets could frontload or U shape the contract to make it more valuable on the back end.

I don't know if this is accurate info or not, but it would make sense so I believe it:

Beautiful deal. We get to build with Clax and Clowney while we wait on Flagg. This is a great start to a rebuild.

Nice contract! We're finally signing drafted guys as opposed to mercenaries.

Fair deal for Claxton and the Team. Nic is still young enough to grow his game but will he?

Great deal. With the rising cap and crazy contracts being handed out this will look like a steal in year 3 and 4.

He has every season. He just needs to add a consistent three point skill set.

Yup. Has improved his passing and overall awareness, begun adding a couple little post moves. If he can improve as a free throw shooter and just add a 3 respectable enough to not leave him completely open by himself out there, sky’s the limit.

How was witness protection btw?

Cam and Clax combo. I love it.

Solid contract. I'm happy.

Great for Nic, good for us. Now we need to find an on-ball creator / defender. I want us to go after Dyson Daniels. Dalen Terry might also work.

Nice to reward home grown talent.

With the news that this contract is descending in value this could be a major steal down the line.

Having a baby girl toddler who has the energy of a 20 year old Westbrook isn’t for the weak, my man.

I don’t even remember if I ate this morning lol
