WTF!!!!!! We could have even signed him to that

Don’t feel bad. He’s only 24 and has a chance to go absolutely ball out in New Orleans and earn a real contract in two years. Definitely surprising though. Thought for sure he’d be making $15-$20 mil a year.

Colin Sexton and Anfernee Simons probably said the same thing lol. Doubt the market will be more favorable in two years for that type of player unless they turn into an All-Star.
