Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has agreed to a five-year, $148 million designated rookie scale maximum contract extension, league sources told ESPN. Embiid, one of the NBA's most talented and popular young players, has the ability to earn an additional $30 million -- bringing the value of the contract to as much as $178 million -- if he earns an All-NBA first-, second- or third-team selection, or is named MVP this
Julius Nattinen Jersey season, league sources said. The designated rookie scale extension -- termed "the super-max" -- reflects 30 percent of the 2018-19 salary cap if Embiid reaches the performance-based criteriaBased on the details of what sources are describing as a complex contract structure, the 76ers would have to waive Embiid for him not to reach the full value of his $148 million extension. 76ers coach Brett Brown, without commenting on the contract's specifics, told media before Monday's preseason game at Boston that Embiid has transformed the 76ers with "his physical presence; he does it with a defensive mindset, and he does it with an offensive target that is different than anything else that we haveWhen he has been able to practice with us, he has changed the gym," Brown said. The deal represents the Sixers' commitment to Embiid's talent, given that he has been healthy enough to play in only 31 regular-season games since Philadelphia selected him with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft. "You don't give up that tag freely -- but he has a chance to be great, he has a chance to be great," Brown said. "There's still a lot of work to be done. You know, when you look at his body of work -- only playing 31 games, and really he's only been playing basketball for six years, and he's 23. He's just scratching the surface." Embiid, 23, has indeed become among the NBA's most talented and popular young players, and the extension solidifies him as a cornerstone of the franchise's future. "He does things on a court that remind me of, you know, somebody that's able to hear music and just play the song," Brown said. "You know, he will study Duncan, or study KD, or another player, and all of a sudden it's a part

The deal will include some salary-cap protection for the 76ers should Embiid suffer injury that causes him to miss significant playing time, league sources said. The $25.3 million salary for Embiid in 2018-19 will rank third among NBA centers, trailing only behind Hassan Whiteside and Andre Drummond. Brown called Embiid a "difference-maker." Information from ESPN's Bobby Marks contributed to this reportGary Andersen is out as the football coach at Oregon State, effective immediately. The university announced Monday that the parties have mutually parted ways and agreed to release each other from the remaining contractual obligations. Andersen was under contract through the 2021 season. Assistant coach Cory Hall has been named the interim coachAndersen signed a contract extension in December and had
George Iloka Jersey more than $12.4 million remaining on the deal. Oregon State owed him $883,332 for the rest of this season, $2.75 million for 2018, $2.85 million for 2019, $2.95 million for 2020 and $3.05 million for 2021. "After many discussions with [athletic director] Scott [Barnes], waiving my contract is the correct decision and enables the young men and the program to move forward and concentrate on the rest of this season," Andersen said in a statement. "Coaching is not about the mighty dollar. It is about teaching and putting young men in a position to succeed on and off the field. Success comes when all parties involved are moving in the same direction." After two years as the coach at Wisconsin, where he went 19-7, Andersen made the surprising jump to Oregon State before the 2015 season to replace Mike Riley. He inherited a team devoid of talent but seemingly had the program heading in the right direction coming into the season. The Beavers improved from 2-10 in his first season to 4-8 last year but are just 1-5 to this point with the lone victory coming against FCS Portland State

"This is an exceptionally difficult time for me, personally and professionally," Barnes said in a statement. "I have known Gary for many years and respect him highly as a person, my friend, a head football coach and an incredible leader of young men. The timing of this is very difficult; however it is the best for all involved." Andersen was the head coach at Utah State from 2009 to 2012, where he compiled a 26-24 record, including an 11-2 season in his final year that propelled him to the Wisconsin job.
