Murray Signs $140M Extension

Take it and run son. He's been consistent in his three years but hasn't taken that next step. And certainly not for a player picked fourth overall. The trades that made DeRozan and Levine Sacremento Kings hurt Keegan a bit because both of those players kind of demand the ball a lot.

Sorry to see that he won't be able to start the season on time but at least it was his non shooting hand (his twin brother is left handed)

Good for Keegan!

I'm surprised to see him get his, I thought his game had gone a bit stale last year. But the Kings evidently like what they see in him so more power to him.

I see Russell Westbrook has joined the Kings. They want to win in the worst way.

That’s amazing. This caught my attention from the article;

Murray is one of seven players to make at least 150 3-pointers in each of his first three NBA seasons, according to ESPN Research.

The NBA just negotiated a 76 billion dollar media rights deal and the players get 50%of the revenue. So you give a guy averaging 14/4 a 140 million dollar extension. That’s not a dig on Keegan…you gotta give it to somebody.

When Keegan was drafted I said he would play 10+ years and make 200-300 million dollars in his career. I just didn’t know where his ceiling would be as a player. I still don’t know.

The WNBA players seem to be holding out for a HUGE HUGE pay raise.

I know the WNBA players turned a recent proposal to raise the minimum from 76k to 250k, and raise the max from 250k to $1M, or something like that. Essentially quadrupling everybody's salary. And this with 3 new expansion teams added in the last 2 years. Yet the players want more.
