Another rookie extension was agreed to on Wednesday night as the Kings extended Keegan Murray for five years, $140 million. Whether that’s a fair deal or not is up for debate, but what’s not up for debate is that this means the price tag for Christian Braun just went up.
Braun is due for a rookie extension of his own, with the deadline looming on Monday, and there is some urgency for Denver to lock up the young, budding star. There were rumors that Braun’s deal would be for at least $25 million a season, and this Murray deal should only confirm that.
