I'm sure they were going to offer it to Harden, but they still haven't found him since the finals

Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
I'm sure everyone will jump tot he conclusion that this means they won't try to re-sign/extend Harden, but that's not what this means.

Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
hopefully brook realizes to play ibaka more after they pay him

Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
Apparently the deal is in the $40M range, so about $10M per year. Not sure what his value on the market would've been, but that may actually be a little cheaper than I figured they'd have to pay to keep him. I was thinking somewhere in the 10-12 million range.

Javale Mcgee gettin paid more than Ibaka.
Javale McGee's contract is $44 Million for 4 years, so $11 Million a year.

Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
good for the Serge Protector.
I hope he gets Andy V money at least
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
Personally I don't think he's worth $10m per.. He didn't exactly have a huge impact in the playoffs/finals.. But I'm sure other teams would have lined up if they didn't lock him up.
I think him and harden are really only worth around $5m per year each..NBA, where role players get severely overpaid..

I thought he might end up demanding $11-$13 million if he hit the market in the summer so, if it is for $10M or so a year, then it sounds like Presti worked his magic and got a pretty decent deal. Now the plus could mean it's something like a 4yr/$45M deal which would put it at about $11M a year, but still, that's about what I figured that might be the least Presti could get away with offering if he waited until the summer to match another team's offer.
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
He would've gotten more on the open market so in that sense OKC saved money and made a smart move.
However, I don't think he is worth $10M a year seeing as how he is neither a huge offensive threat nor a center. Shot blocking PFs shouldn't get paid that much.
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
Great news for the Thunder. Now go sign Harden. I like how they're sticking with there core, NBA take notes.

I agree, to an extent, because I think both are worth more than $5M a year in today's NBA. That takes me to my next point, though, and that in today's league, you're going to have to overpay for your good role players. Someone like Serge, who will only be 23 next season, has already led the league in blocks, and has shown an improved offensive game with a mid-range jumper that's pretty damn good for a PF.
If it comes out in the next few months that Presti also re-signed Harden, then it would lead me to believe they plan on amnestying Perkins after the season.

Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
So that means Perkins will get the ax. if I were OKC I would work on a sign and trade with Harden. He's worthless when he's not getting help from the whistle.

Steve Blake and 1st round pick for Harden

That's just too much. Lakers deserve better so it's Blake for Harden, straight. Fair.
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
If this guy from the Thunder message board is correct, then the yearly structure of his contract will be something like this:
Year 1: $7M
Year 2: $9.5M
Year 3: $12M
Year 4: $14.5M
Which totals out to 4yr/$43M or $10.75M per year.

Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
That's a pretty incredible deal for OKC. Especially considering the fact that Ibaka is worth way more if he tested free agency.
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
This is awesome news!
I really wanted OKC to keep ibaka moreso than harden but this is a step in the direction of retaining our core for the long run.
I feel that serve will break out this year and develop his defensive game to a higher level than we have seen.
Now amnesty perk and get harden locked down.

Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
Good deal
Feel he could of got more on the open market.

I think harden would want to see his value on the open market...

LMAO @ retards here who were proven wrong now the same people who kept saying Ibaka will leave and get a max contract saying he is overpaid :roll:

But on a serious note, has the likelihood increased that perkins will get the amnesty?
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
Deal is 48 million not 40
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension
$48 mil is nothing to sneeze at, but I still feel that given the money Lopez and Hibbert got that Ibaka left some money in the table. Good deal by the Thunder front office. I hope this entire core stays together.
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year, 48 million contract extension
They ended up paying market
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year, 48 million contract extension
At this point in time, with Howard in LA (and almost certainly in the West after this season if he doesnt stay), Ibaka needs to improve his man-to-man defence before they can let Perkins go. Collison defending Dwight? Please.
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year, 48 million contract extension
Guess this is the type of deal the Jazz can expect to have to give Millsap if they want to keep him.
Could have been worse for OKC. Did the right move locking him up early, if he went on the FA market some team probably would have given him $60 million or something.
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year, 48 million contract extension
Seeing how big men have been getting paid, i say OKC had a hellava deal. Hopefully Harden signs for a similar deal, though i doubt it.
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year, 48 million contract extension
How much are max contracts worth under the new CBA?
-
Re: Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year, 48 million contract extension
If they were paying this for the Ibaka we saw last year I might say overpayment but he's only 22 and still has more offensive potential IMO.

Completely agree. He's developed a nice elbow jumper, a summer with Hakeem would do him some good.
