SEATTLE - Seattle SuperSonics General Manager Rick Sund announced today that the Sonics have signed Luke Ridnour to a multi-year contract extension. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not released.
"We’re very excited about extending Luke’s contract," Sund said. "It’s a good fit for both sides. Luke has proven over the last three seasons that he can lead this team, and we’re happy about keeping him with the Sonics. We feel like the combination of Luke and Earl Watson at the point guard position is a great tandem and one of the best back court tandems in the league."

"During this process, I conveyed the message to Rick Sund that the ownership group feels Luke is an important element of the Sonics’ future and we should take the appropriate steps to keep him," said Clay Bennett, Chairman of the Professional Basketball Club. "I am very pleased that the effort was successful. I look forward to getting to know Luke and watching him continue to excel as a Sonic."

I would say between 4 and 10 million a year due to the fact that he is young.
