"When negotiations first opened, I think the Commanders were a little stunned by initially what Terry McLaurin and his camp were really gunning for in those negotiations." "The initial number was high enough that it almost completely broke down conversation instantaneously between the two parties. I think the Commanders were stunned at initially what the ask was. To me the inference was, this was like nearly top tier, tier 1 money. Are we talking $35 million AAV, are we talking beyond $35, are we talking about creeping up to $40? What was the initial ask?"

ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel on a potential Brandin Podziemski extension: “I think the sweet spot would be between that $18-19 million per year range. I personally expect this to be a little bit north of $20 million. Somewhere in that $22-24 million range for Brandin Podziemski annually.” 👀 (via “Clutch Scoops”)

Brian Windhorst says if Stephen Curry waits to sign extension, warriors will have over $100m in cap space: “There’s still players becoming contract extension eligible. By next week you’ll start to see Steph Curry’s name come up. On the 29th of August he’s extension eligible for his contract. I have argued that it should be considered that Steph doesn’t sign the extension yet. If he chooses to sign right now, he could get two years at $140 million. Obviously if that’s what he says he wants, you give it to him. But if he doesn’t sign his contract extension right now the Warriors could have over $100 million in salary cap space next summer. Him, Jimmy Butler, & Draymond Green are all in the last year of their contracts. And it’s not that I’m thinking Steve will take a deal, but it’s like you’re going to get the contract anyway why not leave the option open?” - Brian Windhorst

Shams on rookie extensions for the rest of the 2023 draft class: "I'm told there is optimism with an Ausar Thompson extension in Detroit. And then I would also keep an eye on Cason Wallace, Brandin Podziemski, Jaime Jaquez...and Anthony Black who's also a high draft pick in that class. But I would look at both Brandon Miller and Ausar Thompson to have more and more conversations with their respective teams, the Hornets and the Pistons, in the upcoming days and weeks"
