?Robbed His Own Team?: $55,000,000 News Triggers NBA World?s Wrath Minutes After Rich Paul?s ‘Masterstroke’

The offseason has been nothing short of a thrilling ride. There have been several rumors erupting every day about some major athletes switching sides. Other than that, there are several athletes who have actually been traded and moved to a new team. Recently one such news about one of Rich Paul’s deals broke the internet.

Paul is a well-known agent who has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. In fact, he is widely regarded as one of the best agents in the game ever. So, when he recently pulled off a $55 million deal, several fans were angry saying that they’re now ruining their own franchise.

Jordan Clarkson signs a contract extension

Jordan Clarkson is a 31-year-old guard for the Utah Jazz. He was previously with the Cleveland Cavaliers till 2019 then he signed to the Jazz and has been with the team since. However, after the end of last season, he was adamant about using his $14.26 million player option to avoid free agency.

As it turns out, the Florida native is in fact interested in staying with the Utah team. According to Shams Charania of the Athletic and Stadium, Clarkson and Jazz are preparing for a $55 million deal. The contract will be valid through 2025-26.

Charania tweeted, “Utah’s Jordan Clarkson, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul and agent Brandon Cavanaugh are finalizing a three-year, $55 million contract renegotiation and extension with the Jazz.” The insider added that the “Deal includes next season and two new years through 2025-26.”

Paul has been heavily involved in this deal and his role in this big money deal is being looked down on by fans. Although this is a lucrative deal for Clarkson and everyone involved, fans feel that this is going to have a negative effect on the team and their financial condition. Regardless of the narrative on the internet, the athlete is surely coming out of this a lot richer.

It is understandable that the fans will look at it as an L for the team considering Clarkson is yet to help the team with a title.
