I didn't see a thread on this, but I know some were wondering when we'd sign the rookies.

We're probably trying to get him on a more team friendly deal I think.

Right after the Westbrook deal was done.  I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

There's no real negotiation on deals for first round draft picks, the contracts are standard. For a second round pick, however, the two sides will negotiate, so it will take a bit longer.

And not necessarily because Westbrook was coming here.

I thought the same. Coulda been Westbrook or Capella though, or even a different guy.
