Okay, so, about this Porzingis contract situation… man, it’s been a wild ride tracking this guy’s career and his deals. Let me tell you about how I’ve been following it all.
It all started back when he signed with the Dallas Mavericks. I remember vividly reading the news – a massive five-year contract worth $158 million. I was like, “Whoa, that’s a hefty sum!” I even jotted it down in my notes because, you know, I like to keep track of these things. I even saved a couple of articles about it on my computer at that time. I also remembered that this was in July 2019.
Then, fast forward to 2023, and things got interesting. Porzingis got traded to the Boston Celtics. I was glued to my screen, refreshing Twitter every few minutes for updates. I even followed a few sports reporters to get the inside scoop on the deal and I read a lot of articles about it.
- First off, I learned he exercised his $36 million player option with the Washington Wizards.
- Then, bam! News broke that he signed a two-year, $60 million extension with the Celtics.
- This new deal meant he’d be with the Celtics through the 2025-26 season, with a total of $96 million over those years.
I immediately updated my notes and started digging deeper into the details of the trade. Found out it was a three-team deal, and the Celtics also got a couple of draft picks out of it. I even made a mental note to check how those picks would pan out in the future. I even wrote an email to my friend, sharing my excitement about this trade.
Injury Setback
But, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Recently, I came across some sad news – Porzingis had to undergo surgery on his leg. Apparently, he’s going to be out for 5-6 months, which means he’ll miss the 2024 Olympics. I felt a bit bummed out, to be honest. I was hoping to see him play. I immediately opened my notebook again and wrote “Porzingis out for 5-6 months” so that I could remember this in the future.
Anyway, that’s the gist of how I’ve been keeping up with the Porzingis contract saga. It’s been a mix of excitement, anticipation, and a bit of disappointment. But hey, that’s the world of sports for you! I’ll definitely keep following his journey and see what happens next. You never know what kind of surprises are in store.
