I was saying Capela would get 4 years 100 a month ago and most were laughing saying no way he does. I was wrong. Capela is getting 4 years 120.
My head just exploded! Is this the same guy who's played 31 games in 3 seasons? Is he even cleared for 5-on-5 yet?
They sure as hell have a lot of faith on a guy that has had a hard time staying healthy and has missed two years already.
seriously stupid decision by the Sixers. Embid is a RFA next summer. If he is healthy they could've just offered him the max OR matched any of the offers he gets from other teams. IF he wasn't, which is often the case, I doubt that anyone would've given him the full max. But even IF someone was willing to offer him the max, it would've been for less years and $ than this extension. Sixers fans better hope there are some significant provisions/opt out written into the contract for games played/injuries.
If most of that money isn't based on playing time this could go down as the worst contract in league history.
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...s-accepts-max-rookie-scale-contract-extension Embiid has the ability to earn an additional $30 million -- bringing the value of the contract to as much as $178 million -- if he earns an All-NBA first-, second- or third-team selection, or is named MVP this season The 76ers would have to waive Embiid for him not to reach the full value of his $148 million extension
This guy when he gets hurt, he doesn't play for an entire season, the NBA insurance thing will pay him , low-risk
real hot takes in here and all over social media. no way that the team that actually owns his rights knew any of this!!
