Dennis Schroder and the Lakers are reportedly far apart on a contract extension . Schroder is eligible for a four-year extension with up to $83,328,000 in base salary. Because the bonus terms are in his current contract , an extension must contain incentives for: Playing 65 regular-season games, playing 50% of playoff games and reaching NBA Finals ($230,000-$270,000 annually, as negotiated) Playing 65 regular-season games, playing 50% of playoff games and winning championship ($230,000-$270,000 annually, as negotiated) An extension would also include incentives for making an All-Star team and an All-Defensive team, but those are far less relevant. So, Schroder’s largest-possible extension could be described as four years, $83,328,000. Or $91,968,000 if including all incentives. Or something between if including only some incentives.

REPORT - PBKS VS RR by Cricbuzz Staff • Published on Share Tweet Samson's magnificent 119 went in vain © IPL It was nearly deja vu all over again for Punjab Kings against Rajasthan Royals.

SRI LANKA TOUR OF WEST INDIES by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet Oshada Fernando fell 9 short of what could've been his second Test century © Getty On an otherwise attritional day of cricket, there was a brief phase of less than half an hour when West Indies had induced excitement, led by Kyle Mayers's gentle medium pacers.
