If JDub & Chet got normal rookie max deals with the full escalator there was a SCENARIO where JDub & Chet both make All-NBA and the Thunder have to pay 30% of the cap to both of them Now worst case seems like you pay Chet 25% & JDub 26-27% That's up to 7-8% of the cap SAVED.
This is game-changing news. Essentially unless JDub takes one of the craziest leaps in sports history next season, the escalator in his contract will be very small (only 1-2%) Realisitically JDub makes All-NBA 3rd next season again or misses it and that means his contract will…

If Ajay can be a real shooter and amp up the pull-up 3 volume, that would be the true next step. I loved the connection he had with Chet in those limited minutes to begin last season, and I think his overall PNR play could be a big part of next years bench unit - especially now…

Incredible summer league for Ajay Mitchell He was already very, very solid as a rookie - I don't think people appreciate how he was a steady, efficent contributing guard who didn't bleed any value on defence And now you can see the extra layer of his scoring bag and aggression,…

Absolutely 0 escalator in Chet Holmgren’s deal if he makes All-NBA Great news
Chet Holmgren's rookie scale extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder is a straight 25% of the cap max. No Designated Player language in the deal, a league source told @spotrac.
