Rumors said Cedi and his representation wanted something like what Nance got. That seems high and seems high for Nance to be honest. I think 8M would have been appropriate perhaps. If 8 wouldn't do it, you let the season play out. I don't mind what they did.
If you gave me the option to give that type of contract to either Nance or Cedi, I don't think I would even think twice about giving it to Cedi. I think Cedi has a better understanding of what the modern NBA is asked of a player like him. Everyone raves about how motivated he is and with his age you are more paying him about potential vs actual production.
Nance could be closer to retirement at the end of his contract extension vs Cedi who would be entering him prime after an extension. I feel like Cedi will end up earning or out earning that type of contract. Where I don't think it's a high possibility that Nance earns this extension.
