No PO and $40m less than Paolo is pretty terrible work from his agent, lol. He helped his team just win the title.

Good deal, but he needs to improve still. I had better feeling about him last year, than this year, I think this year he, maybe didn't take step back, but definitely didn't take that step forward, and his shot looks broken now IMO. Last year when he was a rookie, I even mentioned that I saw some Duncan in him, this year I would not have said the same.

Chet was invisible in the finals at times .

Paolo has sucked his entire career and got a full max.
Which he should! He will probably one day be good.
But he hasn't been at any point.

Can OKC give out these types of contracts?
SGA, Jalen and now Chet!!
OKC acting like a big city team after winning ring.

He has been pretty injury prone in his brief career and history isn't kind to 7 footers who start their careers with that many injuries. He's smart to secure the bag now.
He also hasn't taken that next step yet offensively and looked pretty bad at times especially in the finals. This is a win for him.

Not the worst deal, but not sure if he is worth it. Always hurt, and regressing on offense due to his broken jumpshot.

Imagine feeling like anyone accepting 250 million is a bad move. I mean, we have lost the plot here. Good for Chet.

Could be worth 250M is pretty telling what is the incentive structure in this deal? Hard to judge it by someone saying upto or could reach

OKC won't be able to keep this team together. Soon they will be paying just Chet and SGA 121 a year. Dort and Hartenstien contracts are up in 2027 and they will have to come up with big bucks for Williams in 2028.

Dort is gone, there's no way they can retain all of these young guys. Might as well trade him to the Wizards for Marcus Smart, they'll get one year of Smart and maybe win another ring with the same formula.

He's also played in like ~50% of games in his career thus far.

I'd be shocked if they let Dort go. They're surely to let guys like Wallace, Caruso, Wiggins, Joe, K.Will, go before Lu.

Seems like a regular max rookie extension. 25% of the cap to start and then goes up like 5-7% each year.
My guess is the incentives are just the usual bump if someone makes all nba or dpoy etc. Then you can make 30%.
So it’s probably around 4/$200m, starting at 42m, then roughly 47, 53, 59.

It says "up to" so is the 250 factoring in if he makes All NBA? If so, then what is the actual contract as is?

6 of 8, 18 points, 8 rebounds, and five blocks in a Finals Game 7.
Got visible when it mattered.
