Trae Young, Jokic, Herro: Who Gets Extensions?

"Most of the offseason's biggest fireworks have faded from view." What remains are dozens of extension decisions, and the piece peeks into that crystal ball — projecting who gets new deals and who doesn't. The new CBA's aprons make true max contracts rarer, so the writer forecasts guarded deals for stars (Trae Young ~4 years/$190M, Dyson Daniels ~5/$155M, Jalen Duren ~5/$140M, Tyler Herro ~3/$130M) while tabling or passing on others (Nikola Jokić delaying talks, Kawhi, Zion, Durant, many role players). Merlin sees front offices choosing flexibility over headline splashes. Defensive glue pieces and young two-way wings get rewarded; injury history and roster timing leave veterans in limbo. Small summer moves, preseason form and trades will flip a few projections — fate, as always, waits for the regular season.
