The report came out that Luka’s super max extension would’ve been worth 345m and now the Lakers can only extend him for 5yrs at 229m.
It's 4/229 not 5.
Therefore he'll make around 300 the next 5 seasons instead of 345.

Why is Golden State out?

and the report would be wrong. they can extend him for 4/229 and I assume the first year of the next contract would be $60m+.
f you are going to say cost him a guaranteed x million, fine. but it would take a catastrophic injury for him not to make up most of it, if not more, for future contracts over the same period. if he has a catastrophic injury than I'm sure there is some kind of insurance.

The report added the 5th year so yeah you’re right, the report was wrong. It was some dumb social media post I probably shouldn’t have trusted in the first place. Thanks for the information.

Just think about his complete disregard for draft picks. His constant dog-housing of effort and how defense is your culture. The Knight/MCW trade that was kind of out of nowhere because he didn't like Knight's defensive effort (and the laser focus on one player in particular). The off season moves that were then immediately negated in-season. Nico is taking a lot of blame here, and he absolutely should as the GM, but when he says that he and Kidd have a "shared vision" for culture and that he "knows the type of players Kidd likes", that is a strong red flag to me that the conversation started from the coach, not the GM.
I live in AZ and the suns are the one local team I actually like. They should be listening to KD offers, if they can get back a young real impact player along with some draft capital they should give it a shot.
The Suns are listening to offers on Kevin Durant and Durant is aware of this. Golden State has been the most active in the pursuit of Durant with Phoenix holding interest in Kuminga. Golden State’s ideal plan? Bringing both LeBron and Durant to the Bay Area to play alongside Curry.

With Nico Harrison being the guy getting paid handsomely under the table with future promises as well just to be the guy to take all the heat in the moment.
