Tyler Herro is guaranteed $120 million from 2023-27 with his new extension.
Michael Porter Jr. is guaranteed the same amount for those years, give or take half a million.
This should be a very interesting year for proving whether those bets make sense for their teams. – 7:05 PM
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
In the 40-year history of the 6th Man Award, Herro’s scoring average was 4th best all time among winners last season. Now armed with a lucrative extension, he hopes to be a starter this season: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 7:02 PM

I think the Heat paid Herro more than I would’ve. I’d rather have RJ Barrett, for instance, and he got less. But I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad contract in context of the current cap. – 6:51 PM
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
NEW from @Anthony Chiang and me: Heat gives Herro a four year extension worth $120 M guaranteed, with another $10 M in incentives after months of discussions. He very likely cannot be traded this upcoming season, per NBA cap rules: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 6:48 PM

More on this storyline

Albert Nahmad: Herro at 4/$120M with incentives for $130M is ~$20M – $30M less than the max, and it avoids both a possible opt out after Y3 to 30% max and a commitment to Y5… It’s also a big number for an otherwise upcoming RFA who’s a one-way player. -via Twitter @AlbertNahmad / October 2, 2022

By now, DeMar DeRozan’s unexpected path to the Chicago Bulls during 2021 free agency is well documented. But approaching the one-year anniversary of his sign-and-trade acquisition from the San Antonio Spurs, DeRozan added a new layer of eloquence to the process during his appearance on “The Draymond Green Show.” On Green’s podcast, DeRozan detailed the depths of uncertainty that the process created for him when he didn’t initially sign with a team. Multiple reports at the time projected DeRozan to land with his hometown Los Angeles Lakers before that franchise pivoted to their acquisition of Russell Westbrook. -via NBC Sports / July 28, 2022

 

Fast forward three years, and this …

Fast forward three years, and this situation remains as uncomfortable as ever. And that was before Bagley III’s agent, Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports, fired off that tweet calling the Kings’ handling of him “a case study in mismanagement” the day before their regular-season opener. Bagley, who is looking for a fresh start as he heads into restricted free agency next summer, has played in just one game for a total of 10 minutes so far this season. Monte McNair: Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, obviously, Luke — Luke decides on playing time and his directive is to put the guys out there on the floor that night that he thinks is gonna do (the job). We’re gonna need all our guys at some point this year. Obviously, we talked about Davion and, you know, we’ve become a little more guard-heavy and that’s pushed some other guys down the roster, right? (That) has had some impact.

Kings forward Marvin Bagley III is headed for free agency after failing to sign a rookie extension before Monday’s deadline. Here’s why his qualifying offer could drop from $14.8 million to $7.2 million – and why the Kings control the price tag.

James Ham @James_HamNBA
With Marvin Bagley not reaching a rookie extension with the Kings, as expected, the 22-year-old will enter next summer as a free agent. If the Kings extend a $14.8 million qualifying offer, he would be restricted. If they pass on the QO, he is an unrestricted free agent. – 7:12 PM

More on this storyline

The 76ers were widely believed to be holding out for a chance to acquire Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers, but Lillard recently said he isn’t leaving Portland, “not right now at least.” As for Sacramento, sources have suggested the 76ers would only be willing to consider an offer that includes De’Aaron Fox or Tyrese Haliburton. The Kings are unlikely to part with either player, but they can offer Buddy Hield, a prolific 3-point shooter who would space the floor for Joel Embiid; Marvin Bagley III, a former No. 2 pick who has yet to reach his potential; and other assets, including multiple first-round draft picks. -via Sacramento Bee / August 31, 2021

“While I thought that through pretty thoroughly, I had spoken to my agent (Jeff Schwartz), and he knows how these things go when people live their life in the open,” Love told USA TODAY Sports. “He totally got it and said, ‘You’re going to open up yourself to a lot of people. A lot of people will be talking about this, and people are going to recognize you for more than basketball. Are you sure you want this?’
