Utah Jazz agree to 4-year, $36 million extension with Royce O'Neale

That’s because O’Neale signed a life-changing four-year, $36 million dollar contract extension with the Utah Jazz on Sunday, as first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

He doesn’t shoot very frequently — he’s the clear fifth-option in the Jazz’s starting lineup — but this season, he’s made 44.3% of his threes.

This season, he’s guarded everyone from Kyrie Irving to Giannis Antetokounmpo; he’s quick enough to guard smalls, but strong enough to guard bigger, longer guys.

This summer’s free agent class isn’t very deep, and O’Neale would have been one of the best role players available on the market.

Jordan Clarkson is the biggest impending free agent, though Emmanuel Mudiay will be a free agent as well.
