    I would prefer he was just released outright, but this is certainly an acceptable deal.

    That's pennies in today's association. Love the deal jotting it down on my tipping calculator.

    He loves it here

    He'll be a very expensive bench player, but it could have been worse.

    Yeah straight up, all them Stone haters and critics? You got egg on your face. This man has steered us through an awesome rebuild so far. Even his "**** up" in drafting Jalen turned in to KD without really giving up too much that we'd cry over...Stone and Ime, maybe a better partnership than Morey & The Beard (though the second is a way better sitcom title if we're being truthful about it lmao.)

    Not bad at all. It also works well timing wise given his money will be off the books when Amen’s extension kicks in.

    @Imanimal do you understand leverage now, and why you were wrong?

    This is what Fred is worth. He’s probably worth even more to us, but this is fair for both sides. I’m happy to have Fred back at these numbers. What an incredible offseason. Front office is killing it.

    $25 million a year is amazing. Honestly thought we were going to give him $30 million a year. How does this affect our cap situation with the 1st and 2nd apron ?

    Don’t love it, 25 is pretty expensive, he got a team option, and is only locked in for 1 year which means he might have the one foot out all season

    Insane value; turned down a 45M option and Stone only got him for 5M more over two years
