Dejounte Murray should be a Spur for a long time. The young point guard has agreed to a four-year, $64 million extension to remain in San Antonio instead of testing restricted free agency next offseason and letting the market determine his value. (Hint: it will likely be more than this.)
It’s hard to overstate how good this deal is for the Spurs, and how unlikely it would have been under other circumstances. Had Murray not missed a season with a ligament tear, he’d surely would have commanded a bigger salary. If the preseason is any indication, he likely would have built his value back up if he had decided to play out this season first, but there was risk involved.
