    25.5M per year. Good to get this out of the way now. Tari you're next.

    About what I expected--a nice value for Bari, especially as the cap continues to increase. He just needs to get a little more consistent with his shooting and he'll very easily justify this value. His archetype is rare and hard to find and really helps balance out the roster.

    Glad we got him locked up.

    Really curious what the deal for Tari is going to look like, or if there will be one at all.

    Beautiful. Stone and Eli doing Picasso work so far this summer….

    Where does that put Tari’s extension, though. Hmm

    Absolutely incredible contract. That's role player money. I'm very pleasantly surprised. That's barely more annually than we paid Ryan Anderson almost a decade ago.

    He's not that far behind Naz as an overall player (defense + offense) and he's much younger. They're assuming there's at least a little more in there as he matures. Naz is a finished product
