Charania, 31, wrote, “Oklahoma City Thunder C/F Jaylin Williams is signing a new three-year, $24 million contract extension with the franchise, sources tell ESPN. Thunder declined Williams’ $2.1M team option and negotiated the new raise with his agents Marcus Monk and Sean Kennedy of Excel Sports.” Charania’s post attracted attention from the NBA world. One user wrote, “Presti just gets every bench role guy to sign for multi-year $8m AAV deals with team options. Most tradable contracts possible + insane value if they provide anything positive in the rotation. Such great work,”
