It is important that he signed before summer league. By the way he signed 4 year deal. Year 3&4 are team options.
I think only when he gets a double-double they should say Double-Dekker. Basically when he gets 10 Turnovers, 10 Field Goal Misses.

1st round pick contracts are set 4 yr deals with the last two years as team options. harrell is the typical morey second rounder deal. if he's a bust it's only around the minimum, if he's not that's a few years of talent on the cheap.
teams and players can negotiate between 80%-120% of the scaled amount. teams pretty much always give 120%. one team tried to sign a player to 80% a few years ago. i think it might have been kahn. there was a huge media fuss and the player was eventually given 120%. the following year? the spurs actually sign a player to 80% and there was no fuss, lol.

Ah nice. Because Dekker and Harrell are two completely different situations and his signing is much more important to our situation than Dekkers. I mean..newsworthy. Dekker's signing is just a matter of beaurocracy.
