Jackson Expects New Warriors Contract

[.GR]

By the time the Warriors open the regular season a week from today, Stephen Jackson hopes to have a new contract in hand. Jackson said Tuesday that extension talks with Warriors President Robert Rowell were progressing smoothly and believes it's a matter of when - not if - the two sides reach an agreement. The Warriors' captain, who is signed through next season, is seeking the maximum allowed under the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, which limits the number of years and annual pay raises that can be added to an existing deal. If Jackson signs an extension this season, the most he can receive is three years at $28 million. If he waits until next season, he can add four years at $39 million.

I think he's getting one. He sounds very confident he will have a new contract during this season. I don't think he should be getting one but w/e. Why is it all my teams overpay people.
