- Brooklyn Nets could pay $538m to extend star-studded trio
- Chris Paul’s $120m deal could push career earnings past $400m
- Kyle Lowry heads to Miami as Lonzo Ball signs with Chicago
Kyle Lowry is headed to the Miami Heat, Lonzo Ball is on his way to the Chicago Bulls, while Phoenix’s Chris Paul and Utah’s Mike Conley landed lucrative deals to remain with their current teams. The combined commitments to those four players alone: more than $360m.
Lowry and the agency that represents him, Priority Sports, said he was headed to the Heat. A person with knowledge of the deal said he would be signing a three-year contract worth nearly $30m annually in what will become a sign-and-trade that sends Goran Dragic and Precious Achiuwa from Miami to Toronto. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because nothing had yet been approved by the league.
