Extension

It doesn’t sound like Marcus Smart will sign an extension with the Boston Celtics before the regular-season deadline. It also doesn’t sound like he has any intention of leaving Beantown. From ESPN.com’s Chris Forsberg: While league sources indicate the Celtics are interested in an extension, Smart confirmed a Yahoo! Sports report Monday that suggested that neither he [...]

Gary Harris had a very good season for the Nuggets last year, showing he may be one of the best young shooting guards in the NBA with his ability to score the basketball and shoot the three-point shot efficiently. The Nuggets are re-paying him (that is an understatement) to the tune of a new four-year, [...]

Gary Harris is about to get paid. For real this time. The fourth-year combo guard/safety-net 3 is eligible to sign an extension before the start of the regular season, at which time, if he hasn’t inked one, he’ll gear up for restricted free agency next summer. The general consensus all summer has been that the [...]

Norman Powell has been a pleasant surprise for the Toronto Raptors in the 2nd round of the 2015 NBA Draft. He is a solid athlete with the capability of knocking down a corner three and provides good depth for the Raptors on the wing, the team is rewarding him for it with a four-year, $42 [...]

So about Andrew Wiggins’ five-year, $148 million extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves…We’ve yet to hear confirmation that he’s actually signed it, which is weird. The question is: Might this be a sign of something more sinister at play? Timberwolves coach-president Tom Thibodeau doesn’t think so, per Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune: [tweet https://twitter.com/JerryZgoda/status/913187813142577152] As someone [...]

Gary Harris and the Denver Nuggets seem poised to make their commitment to one another official. According to CBS Sports’ Matt Moore, the two sides are “very close” to hashing out an extension before the Oct. 16 deadline: [tweet https://twitter.com/HPbasketball/status/912748073557938178] Locking up Harris now is a great move for the Nuggets. His asking price clearly [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder traded for Paul George. Then they signed Patrick Patterson. Then they wrapped up Andre Roberson on a very reasonable three-year, $30 million deal. And then they pulled off another heist for Carmelo Anthony. Sounds like enough to get Russell Westbrook sign an extension? Or at least say he plans on signing [...]

Clint Capela and the Houston Rockets have until Oct. 16 to hammer out a contract extension, otherwise he’ll enter restricted free agency next summer. As of now, according to what league executives have told The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, it doesn’t sound like a deal is close to getting done: The Rockets have three other young, [...]

Good luck getting a read on how much the Phoenix Suns want to trade for Kyrie Irving. Reports maintain they have interest, but caveats abound—such as an apparent unwillingness to deal Devin Booker or Josh Jackson as part of any package. And now they have another stipulation, kind of: They’d like Irving to sign an [...]

According to a report from ESPN.com Thursday morning, the Minnesota Timberwolves and Andrew Wiggins are working on a five-year, $148 million extension.
