Royce O’Neale Contract Extension

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

I’m not a ure how you’re coming up with 8M. Is this his salary in year one?

1:30 am math. $9 million. It's a steal regardless. And that probably includes bonuses.

Yes guys like Trey Mamba Lyles

I really like these high character guys. I'll bet you never hear them complain about three hour practices.

Just asked and now I’ve been asked to see a psychiatrist.

This sets a market for Clarkson and Mudiay as well. I think they may not be as expensive as I first thought.

Meyers Leonard is starting with Bam? That hasn’t been their approach all year, I don’t think. Anyway, it’s Bam who controls their defense, and Meyers is out there for spacing.

The Heat might believe they have a title window opening up. If so, that might be the reason they’re concerned about paying a repeater tax. Leonard isn’t worth as much to them this year, or in years to come, as you appear to think.

I don’t think Leonard is a clear upgrade for us this year, but it would definitely be nice to clear Ed’s salary for next year.

For the record: Leonard is not a starting-caliber center. Especially out West

Meyers Leonard has started 42 of the Heat's 42 games this year. I think he's played more PF than C, and though he starts, he plays "reserve" type minutes (about 20 a game). But he's clearly been an important rotation player for a very good team.

Copy that.

I’ve watched a few Heat games this year. I guess I didn’t notice Leonard was starting because he disappears pretty easily and frequently (something JFC would need to realize on day 1, if he were acquired).

This is interesting, I'm a little surprised by it tbh. I don't think there's too much risk of Royce falling off a cliff at 31, but more flexibility is always a good thing.

Royce will still be good, surprised me as well. Royce must have wanted to stay quite a bit and get this extension wrapped up, cause I think the open market would have gotten him more.

It's tough. Royce has certainly made money, but not really made money. He's got probably at least $30M guaranteed in the deal. That's huge. Sure, maybe he could have squeezed an extra $10M by waiting, but is it worth risking a career-ending injury and perhaps getting nothing, all so you could have $40M rather than $30? If I were him I would take the safe money.

I'm sure the majority of us on this site would be hella happy with $30 million in 3 years sir. I don't think you need to even ask that

That's the thing, though. Royce is closer to us than he is to some of these other guys who have already hit their payday. Saying wait until summer so you can squeeze a few million more out would be insane if you've never been paid.

Yeah and he will make more side cash here than somewhere else... being DM's bruh has some perks I'm guessing. He might also get a couple years after this deal as a solid vet... He's likely still good enough to play, but even if he isn't he can get the Udonis Haslem or James Jones minimum deal for a couple years. I think there is value for him in this market that there isn't elsewhere.
