Well if they had signed him to that cheap extension, they´d have a major trade asset right now. As it stand they´ll have to overpay him, which will make trading him more difficult and lock the team into a 2nd round ceiling for the next 2-3 years. And if you consider the Nuggets and Clippers as potential healthy juggernauts, that would be a major achievement. Let´s not even think about the Pelicans with a healthy Zion and McCollum or the internal growth of the youthful Grizzlies and Wolves.
