DeMar DeRozan is unlikely to get an extension. Stein says the Raptors want to be wowed by him before signing him to a long-term deal.
Stein lists Stephen Curry as probable to sign an extension with the Warriors. The sides are waiting until after the preseason games end to engage in serious discussions.
If you're going to re-sign Steph Curry, then you'll need an opt out clause for his horrible knees.
James Harden and the Thunder continue to negotiate. Harden has turned down a 4-year offer worth about $52 million. The max he could get from OKC is 4 years, $60 million.
That's bull **** they can offer him the 25% coming off a rookie scale but the Jazz can't extend Millsap for the 7 year 30% eligible (and no, I'm not saying Millsap is worth that).

Wow, he thinks highly of himself, doesn't he? So basically he wants 2 million more/year, 15 vs. 13. They would have a great starting 4. Ibaka has looked great offensively this preseason.
It’s business, and business is not the best energy for training camp. Basketball is the best energy for a training camp. But there is business in training camp going on all the time now in the NBA.
