These two contracts are nearly identical in money, but these players are in completely different leagues. When looking at the recent extensions for Christian Braun and Jaden McDaniels, the difference in value is staggering. Christian Braun: Signed a 5-year, $125 million contract extension with the Nuggets. Since his promising rookie season, his production has been declining, and many are already calling this one of the worst contracts in the NBA. Jaden McDaniels: Signed a 5-year, $131 million extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite the massive number, he is widely considered to be underpaid and is currently on one of the most team-friendly deals in the league. McDaniels has established himself as one of the premier defenders in the entire NBA. On top of his elite defense, he has proven he has the offensive bag to explode for 30 points on any given night. Meanwhile, Braun is struggling to make a consistent impact for Denver, looking like a far cry from the player he was during his rookie campaign.
