Dozens of hours, shouting matches, hundreds of paragraphs, that’s what you can imagine negotiations between a player – or rather his crooked agent – and an NBA franchise. But sometimes the magic happens and everyone is on the same wavelength, like in a dream. This was the case between the Pacers and Tyrese Haliburton, whose extension was tied up in less than 20 minutes
Recently extended to the max of the max by the Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton signed his contract with his eyes closed. It’s an image of course, but the idea is to understand thatbetween Hali’ and Indiana, it’s a real love story. Hot at the idea of being the main piece of the Farmers project, the All-Star point guard spent no more than 20 minutes in his general manager’s office to negotiate his new contract if we are to believe The Indianapolis Star. Kevin Pritchard, the GM in question, offered him all the possible and imaginable nuggets: 206 million guaranteed dollars, and potentially 260 if Tyrese is elected to an All-NBA Team.

Given the season of the little genius, 21 points and 10 assists on average with a first participation in the All-Star Game, we are clearly on a candidate for All-NBA Teams. Number 0 therefore has every chance of seeing the potential 260 million end up snug in his trunk. Based on this premise and aware of their status as a small market, the Pacers did not hesitate for a second before offering Ty his new lease. His coach Rick Carlisle will also confirm this evidence by evoking the essential role of his leader in the recovery of the franchise.
“He changed the trajectory of this organization. He was a no-brainer.” – Rick Carlisle on Tyrese Haliburton and his extension
The scariest thing, perhaps, is the room for improvement as well as the maturity available to Mister Haliburton. At just 23 years old, Tyrese has gone from strength to strength in his first three NBA seasons. 49% in shooting and 40% in 3-pointers in 7 attempts per game this season, it’s very serious, and this shooting efficiency coupled with its elite distribution offers great prospects for the future. To see the progress of Bennedict Mathurin, or another, for a role of lieutenant, but Indianapolis is at least the head of his project for the next seasons.
Outstanding manager on the courts, TH is just as laid off. During the press conference announcing his new lease, which will begin in 2024-25, the former King cited all those who accompanied his rise to the upper echelons of the NBA. In these lists, there are essentials but which always have their effect: the parents. The Wisconsin native paid a wonderful tribute to his mother, his first supporter. Damn dust in the eye.

“My mom missed my very first game my freshman year in college because the plane didn’t take off. […] I’m so grateful mom, you pushed me to be where I am today, you made sure my teammates and I could make every trip. I love you, I am very grateful to you, thank you mom.” – Tyrese Haliburton
Behind a 260-potato contract hides at least the same square number of hours spent in the gym, so when the madre manages everything on the side, it makes things easier. Ms. Haliburton, as @KDGoat789 would say on Twitter: “You da’ real MVP.”
