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?

His wing span hasn’t stopped him from being an excellent NBA player.

Excellent? Eh. He looks like he can be a solid third option on a decent team. Nowhere near max contract worthy imo.

I guarantee any NBA team would’ve given him that deal if he played the way he has so format for them lol. He was one of the most dynamic and efficient 3 point shooters in the league and his ball handling has been a revelation for the Grizz for a few years now. With Ja out I really don’t think it’s insane this dude can average 25 PPG.
