HALLELUKA: Luka Clinches All-NBA 1st team. 4th in 5 years

If Trae gets to all NBA this season, he will get same contract

He doesn't, I don't think. I believe some of the reporting on Young's deal has included performance-based bonuses that are theoretically possible but not guaranteed.

Yep, I went and looked it up. The current face value is ~$173MM, but it goes to $207MM if he makes one of those markers. $34MM is a pretty big incentive. Hope he makes it. Then ATL is more limited financially, maybe lessen competition for FAs.

Who are the old dudes on the right? Is one of them Duffy? Is there a pic of Dragic in the crowd? :-)

I'd think if they just landed this big of a payday, there would be more smiling.

I wish Cuban and JKidd would dress like adults when they're doing a big international press conference like this.  Props to Nico at least.

One of the comments in the Twitter thread: "Will you do 10 minutes on Dirk and Luka wearing the same outfit to this presser? Thanku."

Not bad!

Luka wants chemistry on court and to have each others back.  Hug it out KP.

Dirk: "But you need the cornerstones and Luka is the biggest piece of that."

Interesting that he didn't include KP or THJ in that comment. Could be nothing because today is all about Luka and that's all Dirk is worried about right now. Just interesting, however non-concrete it is.
