Domantas Sabonis signs new five-year, $217m contract with Sacramento

The Sacramento Kings extended the deal with Lithuanian centre Domantas Sabonis. Thus, the Californian team was able to add four additional years to the player’s contract. The player’s salary for next season will be increased, with Sabonis due $18.5m under his previous contract.

The Lithuanian was traded to Sacramento from Indiana in February 2022. As a result, the player re-joined the top team, which reached the playoffs last season for the first time in 17 years and lost only to the 2021/2022 champion Golden State Warriors in a 3:4 series.

Last season Sabonis played in his third All-Star Game, posting perfect numbers during the regular season with 19.1 points, 12.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists.

Dillon Brooks signs four-year, $80m contract with Houston

More big news for bet online Ireland fans – forward Dillon Brooks is moving to the Houston Rockets. The player has signed a four-year contract worth $80 million.

Brooks signed a big deal after spending a scandalous playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers while playing for the Memphis Grizzlies. During the confrontation, Brooks made an unflattering remark about star forward LeBron James, stating, «He’s old. I don’t respect anybody until they score 40 points». Ironically, the final game of the series ended in favour of the Lakers by a 40-point margin.

Last season, Brooks averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists on 32.6% three-pointers.

Russell Westbrook signs two-year contract with the Clippers

Important news for bet online Ireland fans is that point guard Russell Westbrook has decided to stay with the Los Angeles Clippers. Westbrook has signed a two-year, $8000000 contract. Westbrook was traded mid-season to the Utah Jazz, who bought out his contract, allowing Russell to join the Clippers on a minimum contract.

Last National Basketball Association season Russell averaged 15.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7.5 assists. During the 2021/2022 season, Westbrook faced a lot of criticism from the sports community. Many experts have voiced the opinion that the point guard was largely to blame for the Lake District’s poor performance last season.

Earlier, it was reported that the Lakers sent Reeves a four-year offer worth $52 million, taking the player from a two-way deal to the Lakers’ maximum allowable contract. In the 2022/2023 season, Austin Reeves averaged 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
