One agreement covers a five-year deal worth $112 million that includes a player option in the final season. The player had been acquired at the February trade deadline and recorded improved shooting percentages after the move.
Another four-year agreement totals $212 million with a player option in year four. The player averaged double-digit assists in each of the past three full seasons but posted three-point shooting percentages at or below 34 percent in three of the past four seasons.
