The deadline for teams in the NBA to agree to rookie extensions is October 17th, the eve of the regular season kicking off. That is the same day that teams need to cut their rosters down to 15 guaranteed contracts, as they were allowed to hold up to 20 during training camp.
18 players remain that are eligible for extensions as six have been signed and one player, Ty Jerome, was traded and waived so he is no longer eligible for one. One of the players that people are keeping a close eye on is Jordan Poole of the Golden State Warriors.
Poole has emerged as an important rotation piece for the Warriors after a tough start to his career. He was excellent for the team in the playoffs coming off the bench and is in line to earn a massive raise.

Golden State is already deep into the luxury tax, so they will be looking to save as much money on an extension with Poole as possible. However, with Tyler Herro signing a contract worth up to $130 million, his deal will likely be the baseline for Poole.
