I misread that as 525 million
August 26th, 2019 at 12:49 AM ^
That would be impressive.
August 26th, 2019 at 1:08 AM ^
I read it as 525. Then as 5.25. Then I decided to settle on 52.5. I still haven't read the article, but I assume I'm right.
August 26th, 2019 at 1:37 AM ^
Man, for Caris, most unfortunate link formatting ever. $525m is some serious house money.
August 26th, 2019 at 6:34 AM ^
I mean, I knew he was good, but DAYYMMM!!!!!
August 26th, 2019 at 9:01 AM ^
I’ll drop a dime on that.
The contract is for 525 million dimes.
August 25th, 2019 at 11:19 PM ^
Right on man!
Stay healthy!!!

He could have gotten a lot more on the open market with a healthy and productive upcoming season. But I get the move with his injury history and not to mention the Nets are primed to be really good in a year.
August 25th, 2019 at 11:44 PM ^
I know that sports salaries have gone insane over the past decade plus, but the guy just guaranteed himself over FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS over only three years. Plus what he has already made to date. And, he will then enter free agency if he chooses at 28 - literally at the peek of his prime (age-wise). There is zero downside and this was a no-brained decision on his part, especially considering his bad injury history.

$50M in Brooklyn is only $39M in flyover country.
August 26th, 2019 at 1:41 AM ^
Man, housing in New York is crazy and all, but once you're into the double-digit millions, it's gotta be splitting hairs amongst the nicest places you've ever seen without even dipping more than a toe in the water. Go get that view, Caris.
August 26th, 2019 at 9:02 AM ^
Are you sure Brooklyn is not flyover country? /s
August 26th, 2019 at 11:39 AM ^
Not anymore. Brooklyn is gentrified now.
August 26th, 2019 at 12:24 AM ^
This contract doesn’t kick in till the 20-21 season so he’ll be 29 at the end of this contract.
August 26th, 2019 at 6:36 AM ^
Well, that sucks. He's screwed! That poor guy...

Good for Caris. An off the radar who dat recruit flipped from Ohio (NTO) at the end of a recruiting cycle. Man, did John Beilein have an eye for talent.
August 26th, 2019 at 9:28 AM ^
As opposed to John Groce, who is back in the MAC where he belongs.
He had Caris committed to Ohio U and didn't think he was worth a scholarship to Illinois when he took their job.
August 25th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Congrats to Caris! He has shown great resilience, and this reward will forever change his life. I hope this great wealth is a rich blessing to him, his family, and many others.
August 26th, 2019 at 12:59 AM ^
Day-um! That's a nice contract.
August 26th, 2019 at 2:01 AM ^
Fantasitic Caris! I don't think any of us saw this coming when he signed his LOI. What did he weigh back then? 160 lbs?
Stay healthy and prosper.
August 26th, 2019 at 6:00 AM ^
More like the anti-onwenu of 160*
August 26th, 2019 at 7:28 AM ^
Read the article. I note that Spencer Dinwiddie is listed in the core five of a Brooklyn team that may be the best in the east. Stan Van Gundy is the anti-Beilein, he couldn't develop a player even if handed Michael Jordan.
August 26th, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^
Dinwiddie had so many different chances with the Pistons and couldnt cut it. He just need a change of scenary. SVG isn't that bad of a coach but he's not a good GM.
August 26th, 2019 at 8:10 AM ^
Wow, that's awesome. Good for Caris. Staying at Michigan worked out pretty darn well for him.
August 26th, 2019 at 8:49 AM ^
That's a long way from Ohio University.
Congrats!
August 26th, 2019 at 10:06 AM ^
Congratulations to a spectacular Michigan Man. Overcoming obstacles to succeed! Go Blue!
August 26th, 2019 at 10:55 AM ^
Good for Caris.
August 26th, 2019 at 3:34 PM ^
That's amazing, good for you Caris.
