He shouldnt be a full mid-level exception type of guy. And that is the contract he signed.

Some of the deals I see signing this offseason just dont make sense. But it might be because I am just not used to the new NBA structure. But this is one where I I cant imagine any team looking at him on the free agent market and thinking he is worthy of their full mid-level.

I just get the feeling 2 years from now that a lot of teams are going to be regretting signing a lot of the players that signed this offseason to such long and big contracts for these replacement level players.

Full mid-level is going to jump just like the total cap. Locking him in at yesterday's prices essentially.

It would be a good destination for him, but Portland will ask too much knowing OKC can give it to them.

Yeah I’m not rooting for it anyway

While Dame would probably really thrive in OKC and be a great mentor for the younger guys, Portland probably wouldn't budge unless SGA and multiple first rounders would be included, and that is just fucking ridiculous
