Does Desmond Bane have one of the worst contracts in the league? 5 years, $210 Million (alien.top)

I'll preface this by saying I like Desmond Bane and he is a good young player. But that max contract at this stage of his career is wild. He is nowhere near a max contract type guy. This would be akin to have given Buddy Hield a max contact after his 2018-2019 season. Obviously Bane is a bit better than that year's Hield, but production is not too far off.

2023 Bane: 21/5/4 on 48/40/83 splits

2019 Hield: 21/5/3 on 46/43/89 splits

Meanwhile Bane got a 5 year max 210 mil extension while Hield got a 4 year/90 mil contract

Any general thoughts on his contract? Am I being a bit too harsh?

Box score watcher. But seriously come on man. What did the Kings do in 2019 and what did the Grizzles do last year? Do you not think the team outcome matters in this type of conversation.

I also think people sleep on Bane as a defender because he has t-Rex arms he is really solid

He’s not worth 210 million

You realize that has more to do with the team than it does them as individuals right ?
