Amen Extension

Is this a challenge?

@ThatBoyNick

 

Paying role players like all-stars is the quickest way to wreck an NBA franchise in the aprons era.

 

Can't max a "guard" who shoots the ball like an 80's center.

There's no reason to max him now. If he wants a lowball extension, fine, if not make him earn it next season by showing he learned to shoot.

 

Heck no and that's my franchise player.

 

Have to do it like the rest of the players on the team. Gotta wait till the very end.

 

I would extend him for something similar to Sengun - 20% of the cap with a 5th year opt out. But I wouldn't give him the max without him developing a jump shot.

 

I don’t like it but that’s what Evan Mobley is getting paid. Both amen and Mobley are same caliber of player.

 

Except Mobley is actually a center....and he's a better defensive player....and a better shooter.

 

Amen on a max deal is a franchise killing type of move

you’d have to be the dumbest person on the planet to do such a thing

I’m not giving someone a max who teams are comfortable just straight up not guarding…I’m not giving someone a max who 25 points is considered “going off”

ridiculous

 

For the record though, if Amen comes out next season and earns a max deal, it would be amazing.

He's just not there yet, not even close really.

 

Isn’t wemby eligible for the exact same contract ?

no way we pay Amen like he’s Wemby

 

So far Alpi's by far the more accomplished and developed player, I get the "potential" thing, but Amen came in late, he shouldn't be getting too high a contract offer at all.

 

LOL

 

Not maxing Amen and id trade Sengun

 

Wemby may well end up eligible for the rookie supermax, so no. He would need to play in 25 games the rest of the way and make All-NBA or DPOY.

 

Is he Jalen Green Contract worthy? I say yes.
