Great deal for OO. Well deserved.

It is a very nice deal; 15.5 mil is a very good price indeed.

I was thinking he was gonna get something like 5/125 and it would be an overpay

Figured he'd get at least $20 AAV. Glad I was wrong.

This is definitely what he deserves. Somehow I feel like this is be a massive underpay by year 2 of the deal like Horford's contract.

I'll admit, I was a Schlenk truther. This extension + Murray extension are exceptional. If Fields hits on his (23) draft picks, give him the crown.

Lots of disbelief that OO signed this deal.

Agreed.  Love both extensions... offers the player some security while potentially giving the club an under-market price if the players continue on their projection.  Especially in OO's case.. if he continues to develop some range in his offensive game (love the progress I'm seeing so far), then he becomes the perfect big for today's game, and $15.5M a year will be a flat out bargain.  Also glad they're letting Bey hit RFA if he wasn't interested in taking a similar type of deal.  As @AHF has preached in the past, we need to let RFA work for us instead of re-signing some of these guys at market price before we have to.

Wow...actually shocked we got him for that!

I just shed a tear  

Maaahhhhh boyyyyyyy . My fav Hawk, well him Trae AJ Bey DJ.. our Hawks!!!!

This was a very great deal and a smart decision by the FO. 

4 year 62? He gave us a home team discount.

I'm willing to bet that DJ's extension at least played a role in OO signing this deal.  Much like Trae's and DJ's buy-in to Quin's system is helping the rest of the team also buy in, when your leaders put their money where their mouth is and show their commitment to the team with a team-friendly extension, it shows the rest of the team that they're serious in creating something special here long term.

The conspiracy theorist side of me is starting to tick again getting OO at that price point after DJM's discount over the summer...
