Reggie Jackson signs with Nuggets

After being traded by the Clippers to the Hornets, Charlotte and Jackson worked on a contract buyout. It is being reported that the contract buyout was a success and the Denver Nuggets will be signing him.

Once he clears waivers, Jackson will sign with Denver and the Nuggets will have reinforcement at the point guard position. They were running low after trading Bones Hyland at the deadline.

This agreement by Reggie Jackson makes sense because he gets to play with an elite group of players (mainly two-time MVP Nikola Jokic), is guaranteed a playoff spot due to being number one in the West, and playing for a team that has great odds to go deep into the postseason in hopes of winning a championship.

Jalen Suggs Signs $150 Million Extension With Magic

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Orlando Magic and Jalen Suggs have come together for a three-year contract. The deal is worth $150.5 million.

There is no player or team option included in this deal, as Suggs is the fifth player to get an extension coming out of the 2021 draft.

The 23-year-old has been vocal about staying in Orlando and not changing teams. Orlando’s Media Day was the most recent time Suggs was vocal about his contract situation.

Last season was his best and most consistent season. Suggs averaged 12.6 points (career-high), 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in 75 games.

In previous seasons, he was plagued by injury. However, as demonstrated last season, Suggs is a valuable asset to Orlando when not riddled with injuries.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Jalen Green has signed a $106 million extension with the Houston Rockets. It has been inked for three years.

This deal will see Green make $33.3 million in the first year and $36 million in the second and third years as well. A player option has been attached to the end of this deal.

The 22-year-old is the first player to negotiate a 2-plus-1 rookie extension on a nine-figure deal. This isn’t atypical behavior from Green, as he’s also the first-ever G League player to sign an NBA contract straight out of the draft.

Last season, in all 82 games, Green averaged 19.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 31.7 minutes.

In separate but related news, Houston has extended Alperen Sengun to a five-year, $185 million deal.
