STEVEN ADAMS SET TO SIGN LUCRATIVE EXTENSION OFFER
Rumour has it that NZ/Tongan NBA Basketball superstar Steven Adams is set to receive a massive pay rise!
Adrian Wojranowski, editor of TheVertical.com tweeted earlier today that Adams and the Thunder were negotiating a deal in the $100m ($140m NZD) range, which is expected to be completed by the October 31 deadline (tomorrow in the US).
Basketball journalist Eric Horne who covers the Oklahoma City Thunder for 'The Oklahoman' also claims that In locking down Steven Adams, the Oklahoma City Thunder have secured their core for the foreseeable future.
"For as long as the Thunder have been a competitive team, Serge Ibaka's been that defensive anchor, and when they traded him [on June 23], they were really pushing their chips in on Steven Adams as a young centre-piece," Horne said.
If these reports are correct and Steven does sign said deal, it would make him NZ's highest paid athlete.
Coco congrats Steven!
