Would be surprised if he's extended in the next few weeks. Doesn't feel like he's shown enough offensively.

If he does sign one, I feel like it'd have to be something like the Warriors did with Moses Moody or the Wizards previously did with Corey Kispert -- maybe in the $13-15MM per year range. A breakout year would get him more than that, but I'd be reluctant to bet on it at this point.

I'm not sure I understand Dubious Handle aka Julius Randle's role with the Nets. Him and Porter are an awful fit together, and both seem like they just want to score 20 points a night, regardless of the effective it has on the game. Is he a mentor, potential all star they can trade later, or a core piece they're seeing a future with?

I doubt they view him as a long-term piece. He's more of a short-term floor raiser (now that tanking for the worst possible record isn't incentivized) who could maybe be flipped for something of value next year.

Thanks for all the questions today, guys! By the time we do this next Wednesday, we'll be in the midst of training camps, with preseason games just a few days away. Enjoy the last week of the offseason!
