The Suggs PG experience is going just as plan. Horrible. He was the worst guard in the league in pick and roll situation last season. He still has trouble dribbling by his man.

Wendell Carter Jr collapsed and is being helped up. He was in some serious pain and favoring his right leg. He took off his head band and is headed for the tunnel.

The Wendell contract is interesting. I'm not actually sure if 19 million a season is fair value for him to be honest only because of the injuries. 80 games of healthy Wendell is definitely worth probably more than 19 million a year in the old world but I think it remains to be seen whether the new CBA shrinks role player salaries to the point where that's still true. 

Regardless I love this current team so much that I'm super happy at seeing more of them kept together and I don't think it's an overpay but I also don't think it's a crazy steal like his last which I guess means it's about the right number.

Actually, in the first year of this extension he'll make essentially what Jusuf Nurkic makes this season. With the cap increasing it actually might still wind up being a bit of a steal... Time will tell. 

Might spend some time thinking about how this affects us cap wise in the coming years in the next couple of days but the upshot is likely to be "we have no cap we either pay the tax or manage to just stay under it".

I agree with your initial assessment. Centers are hard to come by right now in my opinion.

I’m glad they locked him up on a tradable contract.

I’ll be interested in your deep dive into our cap moving forward. 

How do you think this will affect Suggs Extension?

Extension for injury? :P

Well, that's another move that is perfectly in line with management philosophy. It's well known that I don't agree with, but at least they're consistent.

 Sometimes we tend to over think things. Right off the bat i cannot understand why now. I just checked he was signed this season and next season already. The extension kicks in the 26-27 season. I guess management is simply trying to create a 4-5 year window for this team. Problem is we don't know this team yet. 

Anyhow maybe it has protections we don't know about. Because, again, why now? If he has a serious injury this year it just becomes a 5 year lead weight of a deal.
