Shams: Keldon Johnson Has Agreed to a 4-Yr/$80M Extension

[BatManu20]

Damn. I love it.

[Dejounte]

yes!!!

hahaha

[lefty20]

Finally some good ing news, tbh.

[baseline bum]

Seems like a pretty good deal for the Spurs, glad they got it done early. Especially considering he's probably gonna put up stats this year that could have raised his market value a lot. And even if his ceiling ends up being good starter that's still not bad at $18 million starting and $22.3 million or so the fourth year.

overpay

[Degoat]

Congrats to Keldon! I’m happy for him, currently my fav Spur. I honestly think he could have 23 PPG this year tbh

[Robz4000]

Just in time to be traded.

overpay

Strongly disagree. $18 million starting in 2023-24 on a $133 million cap is a bargain for a guy you know is starting material and still has some room to grow beyond that.

[Cardinal]

Great contract. Glad to see this KJ locked in.

[baseline bum]

$18 million on a $133 million 2023-24 cap is barely more than the percentage of the cap McDermott made this year for example.

[JR3]

I like it!

Guess Keldon really values the security of getting the contract done right now, because I think he could have done quite a bit better next summer when he's going to be getting a lot of shots this coming year.

$18 million on a $133 million 2023-24 cap is barely more than the percentage of the cap McDermott made this year for example.

And in 2023-2024 when the extension kicks in it’s even more of a bargain. Runs all the way through to 2027. Crazy. For a 20 ppg scorer who is only 22 and will get better each year.

Yeah especially when a new TV deal kicks in this is going to look like an enormous bargain unless Keldon blows out his knee or something. Spurs are very fortunate to get him signed that cheaply.

[timvp]

Wow, that's a pleasant surprise. I'm surprised Keldon took that little that soon. I was expecting Klutch to push for ~$100 million. From the Spurs point of view, $80 million is a no-brainer.

[DPG21920]

Dejounte level value deal. Keldon had a ridiculously big leap and has room to grow. Need Vassell to prove himself now too (I think he will)

[Dejounte]

There goes that narrative that the players were angry at the Spurs for having no loyalty.

[Leetonidas]

Good

[spurraider21]

Good deal

[BatManu20]

[SPURt]

[BatManu20]

Got Keldon locked up for the next 5 years and he’ll be making $6M less per season than Jalen Brunson. You can’t be mad a this deal at all. He could’ve made more next Summer.

Not once heard this.

[tim_duncan_fan]

yeah, Team Captain! Now let's work! I want 25ppg!

[Atl Spur]

That damn Klutch! Oh, sorry I forgot we like them now ( wink wink )
