Thompson's $155 Million, 5-Year Extension Sparks Debate: Playing Style Mirrors Tony Allen's, Yet His Value Is Doubled

Thompson placed third in Defensive Player of the Year voting last season. Quinn believes the contract is generally reasonable, but notes that Tony Allen never exceeded 7.66% of the salary cap in any single season during his career.
