Slightly lower AAV than initial reports but still a hefty contract. They're lucky he signed for 8 though as that gives them 11 prime years of his career. Even when he likely asks for a trade within 2-3 years, he'll return a gigantic haul given he's signed to a long term deal. He could have really screwed them signing only for 5 years (signalling he's out after that) then they'd be trading a rental after 4 years and getting a way smaller return.
