Another dramatic day of NBA free agency has seen young stars rewarded with huge max extensions to stay with the teams that drafted them.<\/p>\n

All Stars Jayson Tatum and Donovan Mitchell both inked life-changing deals with their respective teams.<\/p>\n

Tatum signed the richest deal of this free agency, a $US200m ($273m AUD) rookie max extension, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.<\/p>\n

The five-year deal reportedly includes a player option after the fourth year of the deal in 2025.<\/p>\n

Mitchell reportedly agreed to a $267 million deal to remain with the Utah Jazz but that figure could increase with performance bonuses which could see him have one of the biggest deals in free agency.<\/p>\n

The Lakers are looking to add to their championship team and are finalising a deal with veteran Marc Gasol.<\/p>\n

After trading JaVale McGee and his $US4.2m contract to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Lakers add the championship-winning big man.<\/p>\n

Gasol joins the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year Motrezl Harrell and Dennis Schroder as new additions to the Lakers.<\/p>\n

They also picked up Wesley Matthews on a one-year, $US3.6M deal as a shooting option for Danny Green.<\/p>\n

And pulling out of the bubble has paid off for Washington star Davis Bertans after he finalised a five-year, $US80 million contract extension with the Wizards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
