His agent isn't gonna accept anything less than a full max

So he'll be outta there sooner than later

The only people worried about this is people rooting for other teams & basing it off some shyt a decade+ ago when literally every team was in a panic over the luxury tax because it was new.

They were a top spending team during the PG years & people still talking about what happened in 2012. It will also help that there won't be a new CBA right when their paying JDub & Chet that adds new rules & screws up everything.

The second apron seems to scare teams
Much more than the original luxury tax. SGA will be the highest paid player after next season. Chet will earn more money than Hartenstein. But the a gin from what I read and hear on you local media podcast and forums, OKC fans seem to think that Presti will play hardball with Chet because of the durability issues…

J Dub is a more critical piece to the team than Chet

The way the contracts are lined up, i'd heard/read they wouldn't have to worry about giving him and Chet the max until Caruso and IHart's deals are about done. That they'll eventually be facing a similar situation as DEN, MIL, PHX where they're front-loaded with 3 max slots and will have to either take the tax hit for expensive depth or keep on drafting young guys ready to contribute.

Tho, unlike DEN, MIL, and PHX... SGA/Chet/Jalen will be a younger and overall better big 3 core.
