WojYahooNBA: Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka has reached agreement on a four-year contract extension, league sources tell Y! Sports.

4 years 48 million

stoked that Iblockaaa re-signed. Time to lock up Harden

[Shakriel]

I really hope they lock up Harden too.

It will be really interesting to see what the Thunder do with their cap situation. They're likely going to be just under the salary cap between Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, and Perkins going into 2013-14, and Harden is highly likely to get a max offer if he can have another solid year. While many thought they'd amnesty Perkins after this year, you'd think they have to keep him around to have any chance against the Lakers with Howard.

[Shakriel]

Yeah, it will be interesting. If anyone can pull something off, it'll be Presti. Done wonders so far. Maybe Perk would be willing to restructure his deal or something. I would be fine if they amnesty'ed Perk, but I think he has been a useful piece for the Thunder (even if it doesn't show up on the stat sheet). But if he has to go to keep the nucleus of the four youngins, so be it.

Just plug and play a shitty vet center every year. Ala the Heat.

I don't think the new CBA allows restructures, might be wrong though.

They don't, per se. The only case where they might have a bit of restructuring is when a team with cap room extends a player while drastically front-loading the deal to save space in future seasons.

Obviously, this is not the case for the Thunder. If you ask me, it's going to be a tough road ahead if they choose to drop Perkins.

Ah gotcha. Didn't know that haha. Not up to date on the new CBA.


And I would agree that it would be tough for them if they dropped Perk. He is a nice big body in keeping people like Howard at bay, as much as one can anyway.

Haha, fuck. Stumbled into that one.

[S/T]

Still stings that they turned Tyson Chandler away.
