BREAKING: Memphis Grizzlies G Desmond Bane has agreed on a five-year, $207M max contract extension, his agents Jim Tanner, Max Wiepking and Terrence Felder of @_Tandemse tell ESPN. Grizzlies’ cornerstone players — Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Bane — are secured long-term.
I mean. I like Bane, but I wouldn’t have suspected he’d get a max extension. I feel like the market would’ve dictated 4 years - $130ish, but maybe I’m wrong.
Wow.
Clearly I don’t watch enough Grizzlies games, because I am stunned by this number.
if he played for the Lakers he would be at minimum a perennial fringe all-star and no one would bat an eye at this number. playing for the Grizz he probably won’t make too many all-star games, but he is really really good and still improving
I think this’ll age about as well as Bertans getting 5/80.
That’s a lot of money for a 3&D.
To call Bane a “3&D” player, uh yeah, he’s a hell of a lot more than that, he isn’t Robert Covington ffs. Grizzlies fans are very happy to have him on the books for the next 6 years 😀
