Idc what the cap breakdowns end up being, Kessler straight up isn’t worth $120M. He’d be untradeable within two years of signing a contract like that. Idk what him/his agent is smoking, but I wish they’d pass some of it my way. Dude only averages 25 mpg. You can’t tie that much money up in to a guy who’s a borderline starter at best, who would need another borderline starter to split minutes with. Shits insane.
