Caru-show-me-the-money
I feel like that’s a good contract? Am I wrong?
SAM PRESTI FROM THE TOP ROPE OUT OF NOWHERE!!
THE CARUSHOW STAYS PUT
Good Shit
We still got enough to pay dub and chet down the line right ?
4 YEARS!?!??
LFG!!!
But when I saw [Shams] and Oklahoma City Thunder, I thought we traded for Cam Johnson
Best case it’s a great contract and he is a defensive cornerstone and three point player for 4 years. Worst case he sucks and we attach 1 of our 19 picks to get rid of him and salary match for a good player rental.
Let’s fucking go! Presti probably gave him more money for the team option (?). If that’s the case, it’s more like 3 year 60M. The first two years is before shai Supermax (35%) and jdub Chet rookie max (25%). If it’s a 3 year guaranteed contract, we can easily attach a late first or a couple seconds to eat the 20M expiring before the 85% for our main 3 comes in.
Presti is good at getting people to sign
It may seem a little high now but it makes him a valuable trade piece should we need to do that. Think about what Ihart signed for, in 3 years it wont look as big as it looks now.
Good contract. Dude started his career with the Blue. It’s destiny.
So this contract will pay Caruso until he’s 35. He is a championship veteran known for his defense and hustle. This year, he’s playing 20 minutes a game while averaging 5.7pts on 39/27/78 shooting. His championship experience will come in handy when the team makes their Playoff run.
ITS CHRISTMAS TIME
TURN UP THE AC
That’s awesome news. Give me a Cam Johnson trade before Christmas and what a Christmas it’ll be for Thunder fans!
Woop
No brainer
Bulls fan, happy for you guys and sad for us 🫡
On the first day of Christmas, my true love (Presti) gave to meeee…
Fuck yeah. I can’t wait until his 3 is more consistent, but I’m down with this. Especially if Presti thinks it’s the move to make
Caruso has been fantastic and he should be playing more minutes. Love this extension
Hype. I was really hoping we’d keep him for a bit, his defense is so impactful it’s crazy. I have faith that his shot will start falling eventually.
OKC Thunder Legend 🤩🩷🎁🎉🎇🎆✨️
HEATTTT we’re gonna be in our window for a hot minute
Love AC getting paid. I just hope the contract is heavily front-loaded.
That is a fantastic deal for OKC
People are going to disagree/downvote me but i’m not the biggest fan of this extension
I would’ve preferred a 2 or a 3 year deal instead tbh, im just skeptical with Caruso’s game aging well with his offense being this shaky + injury history + the natural regression that comes with age
Has anyone mentioned what type of contract this is by the way? A front loaded contract would be an absolute steal!
