OH wait, it's 12 million for 3 years, not 12 million per year. That's not bad.

For the first time ever, an NBA game on broadcast television attracted fewer than 1% of U.S. TV homes.
Thunder-Rockets delivered a 0.9 final rating and 1.5 million viewers on ABC’s NBA Sunday Showcase over the weekend, down a tick in ratings but up 11% in viewership from Rockets-Wizards in an earlier timeslot two years ago (1.0, 1.3M). There was no comparable game last year.
The 0.9 rating is the lowest ever for the NBA on broadcast television, falling below the previous mark of 1.0 for Cavaliers-Clippers the previous week, Rockets-Wizards in ’15, and Suns-Kings in 2007.
Four of the eight lowest rated NBA games on broadcast television have taken place in the past month. The games have involved some of the league’s elite teams — the Rockets and MVP frontrunner James Harden Sunday, the defending champion Cavaliers the week before (albeit without LeBron James or Kyrie Irving) and the East-leading Celtics the week before that.

Warriors look to be establishing a big enough lead over the Spurs that both can rest players for the last few games when we play them

Westbrook is not human. Blessing to be able to watch a guy like this live.
Thunder are 14 points behind, this man checks back in, murders them.

Plumlee is a much cleaner fit next to Jokic. Way quicker feet, can switch. Different body type. Hard worker and above avg Center who knows his limitations. Smart cutter and passer on top. Jokic is a master at spotting cutter. They should bring in a 3rd guy to complement Jokic + Plumlee. Imagine that the Clippers implode this summer and the Nuggets manage to make a win now move to get CP3 and Ibaka.
S5 of Paul, Gary Harris, Wilson Chandler/Gallinari, Ibaka, Jokic with Murray, Plumlee, Chandler/Gallinari coming off the bench. Maybe I even forgot some good player on that roster. But that's a decent team with proper coaching.
Regarding Lance Stephenson...
He's played well in stretches this year. But let's look at the bigger picture. He played well until the last half season before extension/contract was up. Then he tried stat padding and from that point he was always in short term contracts where he didn't stay within the boundaries of the team's scheme.
$3M per year isn't that much when you consider the min contract for a 7 year vet is gonna go up a lot with the new CBA kicking in. So $3M is probably only like 50% more than the minimum without actually looking up the tables...
Locking him 2-3 years, maybe even with a team option for year 3? means you give him security. My theory is that he's a very insecure character and if he's in a volatile state in terms of the business part of the game, he's becoming more erratic in his behavior. By binding him for a longer duration, he's able to focus more on basketball(don't forget Stephenson's family is living in Indianapolis still) and won't think about getting paid as often.
We'll see if I'm right. But I think it's worth a gamble. Worst case you cut him and give him $6M.
