Anfernee Simons got a tough bucket as the guard agreed to an extension. There is a 0:31
Anfernee Simons has agreed on a four-year, $100 million contract extension, according to his agent.
In 57 games for Portland this past season, Simons averaged career-highs of 17.3 points and 29.5 minutes per game. He took over as the team's primary ballhandler at the end of the season after Damian Lillard was shut down for the season due to abdominal surgery.

He averaged 22 points per game and shot 45 percent from the field and 41.5 percent from 3-point range while attempting just under 10 3-pointers per night.
Simons was taken in the 24th round of the NBA draft, just a few weeks after he turned 19 years old. He was a backup guard for the Trail blazers the last two seasons and moved into a more prominent role this season.
After agreeing to this deal, Simons is officially one of Portland's building blocks, as he's ascended into McCollum's place in what could be one of the NBA's most explosive offensive backcourts next season.
