Nas - 4 year / 28M

[SwissBlazer]

Incredible deal.

 

[Blazinaway]

was wondering if we'd sign him, somewhat of a risk but at that price probably worth it, love it if he could get back to last year's form, wonder what guarantees or opt outs there might be?

 

[Jelloman]

4 year for 28 mil. Average 7 mil per year. Is it a steal? That's pretty much the Bi-Annual exception money.

I thought he would get 13 to 15 mil per after last season.

 

[Labinot41]

Great fucking steal

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Slightly less than MLE-money. Frickin' steal (not that he is worth more than MLE at this point just that some other team would have given him more when they could).

 

[Freshtown]

Great deal. especially when the new CBA kicks in, this is like half of a MLE.

 

[BlazerBeav]

If he can stay healthy (big if), it's a very team-friendly deal.

 

[andalusian]

If he is healthy, it's a great deal. If not, it's a very moveable contract. Good for the team and good for NAS to have some security given his injury history.

yes, believe I read deal was "fully" guaranteed which is why we likely got him for this price

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Great signing!!!

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Some great news! Please tell me you didn’t accidentally leave off a “1” at the beginning of that contract amount.

 

[illmatic99]

That is ridiculous. He needs a new agent

Ssshhh!!! Shut your whore mouth!!!!!

LOL, I think his slow start in preseason helped as well, can he ever stay heathy is really the key for him, really good risk/reward IMO at this price

Kevin Porter Jr got $20m per year today and Nassir gets $7.

 

[e_blazer]

It seems as though the Blazers, Nasir and his agent are all equally afraid he may self-destruct next time he gets bumped going up for a dunk.

After Zach Collins I thought the team was actually learning something. I guess not.

Not with his injury history. He's decided not to bet on himself. He didnt want to end up as one of those 1-2 million a year player that waits to get signed every year. I love Naz and think he's talented but he has yet to be anywhere close to a consistent contributed.

of the entire contract kp jr got only 15-16 mil is guaranteed in the first yr,, he has had issues in the past and Rockets protected themselves very well

I appreciate you playing up the role your moniker entails

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Yes

Glad to be of service.

 

[inconceivable]

Yes, team friendly deal. He is the same age as rookie Keegan Murray. He showed in January what he can do, and still can get better.

 

[illmatic99]

Glad to be of service.

Just fyi... 7 mil aav is like tax payer MLE level. It's impossible to find anyone of Nas' caliber for that kinda cash. What are you griping about now?

 

[SIeepwalker]

Damn that's not a lot. If he can fullfill his potential that's a steal. And if not, it's not that bad.

 

[DDolla]

Porter > Nassir just sayin

 

[inconceivable]

Nas has the physical attributes that you can't teach, he is athlethic and has shown earlier in the year that he could be a solid player. 7/year is a good deal. He now has even more incentive to work hard if he wants that 9-figure contract. Go Blazers!

I am done with players who can't stay healthy. At best they are unproductive and worst they disrupt the team by flitting in-and-out of the line-up.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Allen Crabbe is laughing at this contract.

 

[wizenheimer]

as someone said...it's a contract that matches his upside while accounting for his injury history. And if nothing else, it will become a fairly tradeable contract and decent salary filler in a larger trade. Also, considering he's making 4.2M this season, and his 1st year salary of the extension is probably somewhere in the 6M range, trading him this season, if it comes to that, won't carry any significant BYC differential. Although, maybe with the extension he can't be traded this season?...anybody know?

all things considered I probably like Little's 4 year deal more than the deals for Ant and Nurk
