Full Version: Noah agrees to contract extension
This is an expensive deal, but it's not a terribly bad deal. If he hit the FA market he'd get an offer considerably higher than this.

Win for both sides IMO.
If Jo plays to his potential and is an all-star this year while staying healthy...then hell yes he would have gotten a lot more money (probably closer to 5yr/75mil). OTOH....If Jo were to get hurt again and be a restricted FA after a new CBA, that could have changed things.

On a new CBA you're probably right...but hell, even if he missed 1/2 of this season and there was no season next year, he'd still be in line for 5/$60 on the open market just because of his unique ability to be tall.

Hard to dispute that...considering teams have gladly given 5 yr double digit deals just based on potential for 7 footers (Chandler, Haywood, Bynum just to name a few off of the top of my head)
