Mike Scotto writes Wednesday about how the gargantuan contract —$158 million over five years— Devin Booker signed this week is likely to serve as motivation for his good friend, D’Angelo Russell.
“It’s a life-changing moment for all of us,” Booker said after signing his extension, referring his fellow members of the 2015 Draft class. “Obviously, everybody wants to be in that situation to be a max player, and it comes at different times for people, so I think D’Angelo, I was with him yesterday, he looks at it as motivation, something that he’s going to get towards.
