Bag alert 🚨
i don’t even know if that’s a lot or fair for him with how expensive these extensions have all been lately
Good shit Devin. Hopefully he can finally get his flowers with more eyes on the Spurs this season.
get paaaiiiddd Devin!
one of the more underrated young guys in the league
Bruh LeBron’s 5-year max for us back in the day was like 110m lmao
am i a casual for not knowing who this is
Yea so OG is gonna get paid fo sho
That’s going to be incredible value I would wager
That’s almost Jerami Grant money
Raptors are so fucked with OG’s contract if Devin Vassell is getting 30m
Lotta casuals in here don’t know bout Vassell’s game I guess

lets go, this is awesome for the Spurs
mid range gawd
Let’s fucking GO
Right on time as I finish his interview. Lets get it devo
MIP contender this year, book it.
Dude is a stud. Drafted as a potential 3&D guy and he’s shown so much more than that. Still young too, excited to see the Vassell, Keldon, Sochan Wemby core grow
$29M will seem a little rich to some considering what Devin has done to this point in his career but this is all about where the cap is going, Devin’s own growth and the expectation he’s going to only continue to ascend, and really making it clear how valued Devin is to the future of this Spurs franchise.
I’m so happy for him. He has an excellent head on his shoulders. This season he looks likely to be the Spurs #1 offensive option. He was averaging over 19 a game on solid efficiency before his knee issues popped up. He’s improved his playmaking and is an excellent midrange scorer. He’s only going to get better from here with more reps in high leverage situations. The upside is tantalizing.
Holy W casuals galore will find out who he is this season
Someone save this thread to expose a lot of really bad takes in a few years.
I mean that’s less then jerami grant
What is this comment section, holy shit lol
Seeing a lot of people in this thread who don’t know who he is. Basically, he is built in the mold of a Khris Middleton type. Great three level scorer with deceptively good playmaking talent. Could easily be the 3rd option on a championship team in his prime and will probably become good enough to be the 2nd option on a contending team. 30 million for that type of production over 5 years especially with the rapidly rising salary cap is an absolute steal.
People will say who and bring up his career stats or whatever but I think this will end up a very good extension
These extensions get crazier and crazier each year. If he repeats last year but plays more game you’re probably looking at a much larger contract!
You aren’t exactly a free agent destination and Keldon is wrapped up on a fine 20 mil a year, Sochan and Wemby are on rookie deals for a couple years so this is a good allocation of cap space
Him only playing less than 40 games last season is why I understand people know less about him.
But if you watch him play he definitely deserved that contract.
Copy paste for Jaden McDaniels incoming
He’s underrated but I don’t think he’s underpaid anymore.
Lfg! One of the more underrated young talents in the league. Can’t wait to see his growth this year
