Said it a month back. DeRozan too will get max.

Teams that were able to sign max contracts last two years are gonna be real happy.

Lol I posted that he might get a 70 million dollar contract a couple days ago, now it looks like he might top that. crazy

Cap will be over 108 mill next year, so not too surprising I guess. Funny when you think about it nba teams will have 108 mill for 12-14 players compared to NFL's 155 mill for 53 players

Lakers gave Mozgov 64 million over 4 years, this on top of reports that they can't secure any meetings with any good free agents. The lakers have become a joke and I absolutely love it

Shams Charania ‏@ShamsCharania 6m6 minutes ago DeMar DeRozan has agreed to a five-year, $139 million-plus deal with Toronto, sources tell The Vertical.

Of course DeRozan was gonna get max dollars.

Lol at Mozgov contract. But, that's just how it's gonna be this off-season.

This reminds me of baseball offseason where the big name players and even mid named players get ludicrous amount of money. But the smart teams wait it out and get good quality players at reasonable prices.

5 years 120 mill for Batum

I'm still not used to this
