The official announcement of the new signing
The Phoenix Suns officially announced today that the team has officially signed Grayson Allen to a multi-year early contract extension. It is reported that Grayson Allen received a four-year, 70 million contract extension from the Suns, which includes a player option.
Grayson Allen is set to expire this summer, so the Suns offered him an ideal contract extension as soon as the regular season ended. The Suns general manager said Allen is part of the team and he deserves a big contract from the team. In the 2023-24 season, Allen averaged 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting 49.9% from the field, 46.1% from three-point range (first in the league), and 87.8% from the free throw line. After successfully renewing Grayson Allen, the Suns' team salary next season will reach 204 million, and they will need to pay 106 million luxury taxes to the league! The new owner of the Suns will use 310 million to build a super lineup, and if he doesn't win the championship, he will really be ashamed!
Clay vocalized
At 10 a.m. today, the Warriors will challenge the Kings away to kick off the first round of the play-offs. Before the game, ESPN organized 14 NBA experts to predict the outcome of the game, and 13 of them favored the Warriors to win. But the famous Nick Wright believes on the show that this is the last game that Curry, Dream Chasing, and Klay will play together. In addition to not being optimistic about the Warriors' victory over the Kings, he also thinks that Klay will definitely leave this summer!
Before the game, Klay said in an interview: "I've achieved so much here, and no matter what happens in the future, I won't be dissatisfied with what I've achieved with the Warriors." Obviously, Klay is saying something, is he hinting that he is leaving the Warriors? Perhaps, the cooperation of Kutangchai will really come to an end this summer!
