- If teams signed players to the EE in the first 3 season for rookies (R1, R2, R3) or the first two seasons for any other player (Year 1, Year 2) - then the salary/keeper bump would only be $3 dollars (instead of $5)
Example: If the Wack signed Morant to his extension right now, he would be able to protect Morant for $15 (R2), $18 (R3), $21 (R4), $24 (R5) and $27 (R6).
Current rules, Morant would be $17 (R2), $22 (R3), $27 (R4), and $32 (R5)
- Still need to develop what the penalty would be if you had an EE player but no keeper spots (loss of rookie pick and/or loss of Auction dollars?)
- Also, realizing that a player could be signed to EE contract at any point in the season (standard keeper rules in place - if you want to protect a player for next season they must be on your roster by the end of NBA All-Star weekend). So, a team could sign a player, who met that condition, to the EE contract in March/April. I don't see why that couldn't happen.
Based on feedback, we will float the idea to see if it's worthy of further rule development.
We would need 75% (or minimum 11 of 14 owners) to agree to the development of the Early Extension rules.
