Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
Including the Zion Williamson contract in New Orleans, Austin Brown of @CAA_Basketball has now negotiated over $300M+ in rookie extensions this offseason.
💰Zion Williamson: $193M
💰Jordan Poole: $140M – 11:55 AM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Big money for Jordan Poole, but he’s absolutely worth it. He would have drawn an offer sheet for at least that amount this summer.
There’s going to be more teams with cap space than players to spend it on. That will get some RFAs offer sheets they might not have gotten otherwise. – 11:49 AM

Warriors testing out a bunch of different lineups in this first half. Just went on a burst with a Curry, Klay, Poole, Kuminga, Draymond five. Three Kuminga dunks within a couple minutes. One-hand putback and a couple well-timed slashes set up by Klay/Curry. He’s playing well. – 11:10 PM

More on this storyline

The Golden State Warriors decided to fine, not suspend, superstar Draymond Green after video leaked of him punching teammate Jordan Poole. Although a specific amount has not been revealed publicly, it was likely enough for Green to surpass a substantial and unwanted milestone. Prior to his latest infraction, Green had tallied $994,124 in total fines over the course of his NBA career, according to Spotrac. And assuming the Warriors fined him more than $5,876 for the punch, Green has now eclipsed the $1 million mark in total fines. -via Larry Brown Sports / October 15, 2022
Anthony Slater: Klay Thompson speaking for the first time since the Green, Poole situation: “Ring Night and time will heal all wounds.” pic.twitter.com/vrTdS6RY0e -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / October 15, 2022
Anthony Slater: A suspension was bantered around plenty the day of and in the aftermath when the video came out. There were more people in the organization who hadn’t even actually seen the punch yet. It was discussed. In some people’s opinion in the organization he kind of was (suspended). He missed two games and a week of camp. -via HoopsHype / October 14, 2022

Zion Williamson, Pelicans agree to max rookie-scale extension

Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Stability isn’t something the Pelicans have been able to experience often over the last 20 years.
With Zion Williamson’s extension now in the rearview mirror, New Orleans has a chance to build upon a foundation that’ll be in place for a long time

Austin Kent @AustinKent
Love it or hate it, All-NBA votes next spring could cost Ja, Zion and now Darius Garland close to $40 million.
Why? The Rose Rule, which allows qualifying fourth-year players to leap up a pay bracket (25% – 30%) on their first big extension. pic.twitter.com/nz3P1ntPpZ – 12:52 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
That’s three guys from RJ Barrett’s draft class who have gotten max extensions in the past few days: Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and now Darius Garland.

Jake Madison @NOLAJake
So in non Kevin Durant/Zion Williamson things it just dawned on me how Dell Demps has his fingerprints all over the Rudy Gobert for 5 first round picks trade. Which…checks out – 11:31 AM
Jake Madison @NOLAJake
The start of NBA free agency and trade season makes people go nuts. I’ll maintain the reason I think we haven’t heard official (or more certainly) about a Zion extension is just due to getting the details ironed out. Not because the Pelicans are trading him for Durant – 11:16 AM
Jake Madison @NOLAJake
Now, I don’t think the Pelicans are in deep negotiations with the Nets over a Zion/Durant trade. I think the reason nothing has been announced yet is because they are still figuring out the finer points of his extension. – 9:24 PM
Jake Madison @NOLAJake
Pelicans social media team gotta tell Griff the 12 are tearing themselves apart over unsubstantiated Kevin Durant trade ideas so just fully guarantee the Zion extension and let Shams tweet it out to bring everyone back together – 8:54 PM

Should I just put out a bonus podcast talking about the (unofficial) Zion extension? – 6:54 PM

The Pelicans are … stable? Yes, really.

More on this storyline

The two players picked ahead of RJ Barrett in the 2019 draft — Ja Morant and Zion Williamson — both agreed to max contract extensions on the first day of eligibility Friday. Although negotiations can turn in an instant (or one offer), my sense on Barrett is that it’s going to be a longer process. There’s also no rush. The deadline to reach an extension is Oct. 17. If there’s no agreement, Barrett can become a restricted free agent in 2023. Barrett’s max extension would be five years and roughly $185 million. -via New York Daily News / July 1, 2022
Shams Charania: New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson is nearing a five-year rookie max contract extension worth up to $231 million, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The commitment will take Williamson’s new deal through the 2027-28 season. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / July 1, 2022
Shams Charania: Williamson said after the season ended, “I couldn’t sign it fast enough.” Indeed, the All-Star locks in commitment to New Orleans. The deal is expected to include protections that both sides were sorting through overnight and will finalize, sources said. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / July 1, 2022

I projected 4 years/$88M for Jaren Jackson Jr. in my extension projection piece for @spotrac. This feels a little high, but if he can stay healthy, he should return this sort of value.

BREAKING: Wisconsin football adds 2022 three-star S Austin Brown

Wisconsin football adds three-star safety Austin Brown to their 2022 class

On Sunday afternoon, 2022 three-star safety Austin Brown committed to Wisconsin over Big Ten rivals Michigan, Northwestern and Iowa.

Related: Wisconsin lands 2022 three-star WR Vinny Anthony

The Johnson City, Illinois, native has starred the last few seasons at both quarterback and safety for Johnston City High School. He is the No. 6-ranked player in the state of Illinois and No. 21-ranked safety in the country according to 247Sports.

Brown is joining a talented Wisconsin recruiting class that has added cornerbacks Avyonne Jones and A’Khoury Lyde in the last few weeks. Although it should be noted that Brown is the first safety commit in Wisconsin’s class of 2022.
