I projected 4 years/$88M for Jaren Jackson Jr. in my extension projection piece for @spotrac. This feels a little high, but if he can stay healthy, he should return this sort of value.
Also, the 2018 rookie class is getting PAID! Over $1 billion in extension. Billion with a B! – 11:41 AM

On Wednesday, @Jorge Sierra’s @Yossi Gozlan said Wendell Carter Jr. would sign an extension for $12 million annually. We discussed on Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges, Collin Sexton, Jaren Jackson Jr., Kevin Huerter, Miles Bridges, Landry Shamet and more below. hoopshype.com/lists/podcast-… – 5:21 PM
More on this storyline
Ayton, Jackson and Huerter are believed to be the strongest candidates to get deals done, but recent NBA history suggests that it would be wise to expect the over when it comes to extensions. -via marcstein.substack.com / October 15, 2021
Drew Hill: How important is it for Ja Morant to see Jaren Jackson Jr. get a new deal and sign long term? He says it’s “very important” and it will all play out. “He will be here.” -via Twitter @DrewHill_DM / September 27, 2021
