What about his next contract? He is playing great and I think he deserves a little less than Mikal. Probably around $80M/4 years.
I don't know. It depends on whether they gauge market value or just give him a contract. I don't think they gauged market value with him.
I am unsure who I see offering him that much. There are something like 5 teams with cap space. I don't really see Detroit or OKC doing it. Orlando or SA maybe, though SA got McDermott and has lots of wings. Portland might be the main one.
I think it depends on his play and if it keeps up or regresses a little more than before shooting wise like last year. I think he is benefitting with the injuries and getting more playing time.
Ignoring comparison to bloated Shamet contract, I think anywhere from $15 million to $20 million maybe. Some elite shooters of past have gotten overpaid. He certainly deserves as much as guys like Duncan Robinson and Bertans. Value is kind of all over the place. OG makes about $18 I think. Bojan Bogdanovic makes around that too. Then Zach Lavine, Sabonis and FVV make around that.
My guess is something like 4/$72, but all those others have or had been starters for awhile and have been all stars and all star caliber for at least 2 years.
Normally it doesn't seem like we overpay but did with Shamet.
Prior to this year 538 has his value at around $10 million. They had Bridges at a little over $25 million. Obviously Cam's is definitely low, but he's not longer a sub 35% 3pt shooter either....is elite this year and overall game continuing to improve.
It's kind of hard from another team's standpoint for them to want to offer $20 million a year, but obviously they can't this summer. We could also wait if they think he wants too much to see if he regresses a bit back down on shooting next year. No one really ever shoots his % consistently year after year.
Salaries go up and up every year, so most of those contracts are not a good comparison for Cam Johnson's contract extension.
He has increased his value and future salary with his play this season. Before th start of the season I was thinking around $60M/4 years, but that doesn't seem a realistic option anymore.
Well I tried to pick guys who got pretty recent contracts, at least with Robinson and Bertains...3 pt specialists. Obviously Cam can do more than shoot 3s though. Then I just threw in a few all stars who make around $20 who got contracts in the last couple of years.
I think something like 4/$75 million woudl be good. I'd probably offer 4/$60 and hope to get like 4/$64 - 4/$72 but go up to 4/$20 but would make sure it is an increasing contract with cap with lowest hits while we still have Paul...like 18.5/19.5/20.5/21.5 or something (that's an example based on 4/$80).
