And now the low welcome to the low post podcast on contract extension deadline day and the eve of the

2022 2023 NBA season, which promises to be perhaps the most wide open NBA season in recent

memory. We had a proverbial flurry of last minute contract extensions, quick reviews, branded

Clark four years, 52 million thumbs up for everybody. Kevin Porter Jr. four years, kind

of 80-ish million with all sorts of guaranteed triggers and stuff. Fine for both good risk,

good reward, Tyler Hero. Four years, 120 million plus bonuses. That's just the going rate

for really good players. Nassir, little four years, 28 million dollars, an absolute

steal for the Blazers Bravo to their front office on that one. And then the headliners.

The Golden State Warriors, Jordan Poole, four years, 123 plus bonuses, just beating out

the Tyler Hero one, going rate for good players. It sounds expensive. That's just what it

is. Four years, 109 million with a player option in year four for Andrew Wiggins, a

deal that frankly surprised me. I thought he would and could get more, but some players

value happiness and certainty. And Andrew Wiggins is not knowing a lot of either in

Minnesota before coming to the Warriors. And that of course sets the stage along with

the Dremon Green, Jordan Poole incident for a potential last dance season in Golden State

with Dremon Green entering the final locked in year of his contract, the loan other than

Clay Thompson. If you count him, he's got easy couple of years still on his deal. The

loan won to not get a new contract of all the core guys. They are the defending champions.

They are historically great team and historically great trio, Steph Curry, Clay Thompson and

Dremon Green. So what happens to them matters to help us preview the Warriors in the entire

season, the best in the business, the one and only Jeff Van Gundy. It's been a long

time. How are you, sir?
