Golden State announced Friday it had signed center Andrew Bogut to a contract extension, even though he's missed 104 games the last two seasons.
"Taking a cue from Joe Lacob, when we see something we like, we try to keep it," Warriors general manager Bob Myers said, referring to the Warriors owner. "We don't want it to hit the market This was an asset we didn't want to lose."
The base of the Bogut deal, according to multiple sources, is three years, $36 million. That kicks in after this season, for which he will make $14 million. But the extension includes incentives that could push the deal up to nearly $42 million.
For a 15 percent bonus to kick in, Bogut needs to play 65 games and achieve one of the following: All-Star, All-NBA, All-NBA Defense, Defensive player of the year.
