Rookie extensions
10:52
Which 4th years do you think we see get extended and did Stewart's 4/64 deal make others more likely or less likely to get worked out?

I covered the rookie scale extension candidates a little yesterday: https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/08/22-players-remain-eligible-for-roo...
My best bets are Jaden McDaniels, Josh Green, and Devin Vassell, with Immanuel Quickley, Saddiq Bey, and Onyeka Okongwu in the next tier.

It also won't surprise me I bet we also get at least one minor surprise, where a team tries to extend the player early knowing that his value might increase in 2023/24. Patrick Williams and Obi Toppin are a couple candidates for that kind of deal.

As for the impact of Stewart's deal... I'm not 100% sure. It will definitely be used as a benchmark in other negotiations, but I don't think the price for him was too high or anything, so it may not dampen the market.

With the new CBA to you think we will see a decrease in the number of Max contracts given out?

Not a noticeable one. The second apron will only impact a small number of teams, and some of those taxpaying teams were already avoiding full max contracts anyway, and had signed players to near-max deals (ie. the Bucks with Middleton and Holiday, or the Sixers with Harris).
Thanks for the questions today, guys. Our next live chat will be on Tuesday afternoon and will be hosted by Dana Gauruder!
