NBA Twitter reacts to Cason Wallace's new contract with OKC Thunder

Visit newsbetting.bond for more information.

Less than 24 hours to go, the Oklahoma City Thunder can now cross off a long-anticipated item on their to-do list. They have signed Cason Wallace to a five-year, $139 million contract extension. They beat the NBA deadline for a new deal by a decent margin.

Backing up their words and actions, the Thunder are fully on board with Wallace. He's another long-term piece who's going to see the rest of this title window. And now that he's been promoted to full-time starter, the 22-year-old is expected to take another leap.

Of course, Wallace's Thunder teammates were stoked to see him get a new deal. Now, they can remove any doubt about OKC's commitment to him. This move had been months in the making. Sam Presti and the rest of the front office got it done with time to spare.

Here's how NBA social media reacted to Wallace's new five-year contract:
