EuroLeague Defender of the Year Alpha Diallo has agreed to a one-year, $1.4 million deal to sign with the Denver Nuggets, agents Jared Mucha and Javon Phillips of Excel Sports Management tell ESPN. The former Providence standout and Euro star makes the NBA jump at 29 years old on a guaranteed deal for the West contenders.

Reminds me of our guy from last year. I already forgot his hyphenated name. Didn't work out so well for us and him.

So generous haha

You giving up 5% of your paycheck?

 

[leclerc]

It was more like 250m vs 300m I think. In that case you'd be giving up 16-17 % of your salary.

Wembanyama decided on the 25% maximum instead of the 30% supermax escalators to $303M, after he and the Spurs went through multiple frameworks. A major decision for the All-NBA star and Defensive Player of the Year entering his fourth season.

San Antonio worked in close partnership with Wembanyama and his representatives, offering the full super max and different variations of extensions. But Wembanyama ultimately chose a contract sacrifice rooted in giving him and the organization increased ability to build a sustained title contender around him.

$51 million is still a lot to leave on the table. I could split that four ways with the wife and kids and we all could retire comfortably. I would want a verbal agreement if it was me, that I have say in how that $51 million is spent. Spread out over the contract, that's a mid level contract guy, probably. It's something.

Verbal agreements bring a whole new element to the conversation. That has sparked a lot of conversation on the forum thinking back to the Danny Manning signing.

Yep. It is. I just depends on what is most valuable for him to do with it. His lifestyle will not change at all. He can buy anything he wants. He can ruin all his relatives lives by giving them more money than they can handle. He could give it to charity. Or he could win a championship. My guess winning a championship would give him more joy than anything extra he could buy with the $50 million.

This isn't about contending. It's about writing a sentimental epilogue for his career.

If that is the case what is taking so long.
