This is the most concise era and the best. In just 26 hours after the free market was opened, the league has completed dozens of signings, with a total contract amount of up to US$2.05 billion! Among them, Chinese young player Yang Hansen signed a rookie contract of 21.39 million US dollars, Irving, Reed, Randall, Jabarry Smith Jr., Turner and Pelter signed a large contract of 100 million US dollars, and Jaren Jackson Jr. signed a maximum salary contract of 240 million US dollars! At the same time, SGA and the Thunder signed an epic super top-salary contract with lightning speed!

According to NBA famous reporter Shams, Alexander and the Thunder completed a four-year, super maximum salary renewal contract of US$285 million. The original SGA contract has two years left, with a salary of US$38.33 million in the 25-26 season and a salary of US$40.8 million in the 26-27 season. SGA's new contract will take effect from the 27-28 season, with a starting salary of US$63.525 million, a salary of US$68.607 million in the 28-29 season, a salary of US$73.689 million in the 29-30 season, and a player option worth US$78.77 million in the 30-31 season. At the same time, SGA has also set several god-level NBA records.

According to statistics from the NBA official website, the 4-year USD 285 million is the second largest contract in NBA history, second only to Tatum's 5-year USD 314 million, surpassing Brown's 5-year USD 285 million and Jokic's 5-year USD 276 million. In another statistics, the average annual salary of this contract of SGA reached US$71.25 million, and the salary in the last year was as high as US$78.771 million. Both data set a new record high in the NBA. He will become the first player in NBA history to have an annual salary of US$75 million! It is worth mentioning that since the salary cap increase in the 26-27 season was lower than expected (expected 10%, actual 7%), SGA's actual early contract renewal was lower than expected for 4 years and 293 million US dollars, and unfortunately failed to become the first player in NBA history to have an annual salary of more than 80 million US dollars.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight. SGA deserves the signing of this big contract, and it is also the best compliment for his glorious season. In the past season, SGA played 76 games for the Thunder, averaging 32.7 points + 5 rebounds + 6.4 assists + 1.7 steals + 1 block. He was selected as the All-Star starter and the Best Team of the Year, and won the scoring champion and MVP. In 23 games in the playoffs, SGA averaged 29.9 points + 5.3 rebounds + 6.5 assists + 1.7 steals per game, leading the team to win the first NBA championship trophy in the history of the Thunder, and was elected as the MVP and FMVP of the Western Conference Finals unanimously. According to statistics, SGA is the first player in NBA history to win the scoring champion, MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP, championship and FMVP in a single season, unprecedented!

SGA has won 285 million US dollars in four years, gaining both fame and fortune, becoming the real winner in life, but the ultimate winner is the Thunder! According to the calculations of NBA salary experts, if you wait until next summer, SGA can sign a five-year, super maximum salary contract with the Thunder for $380 million. SGA's early contract renewal is to put the money in as soon as possible, but from another perspective, SGA's early contract renewal is actually a salary cut to the Thunder. The Thunder can lock in the peak period of SGA with a lower contract! More importantly, after SGA's "disguised salary cut", the Thunder will have greater confidence and more salary space to retain second-in-command Jaylenway and third-in-command Chet. They will be in the window period for the championship in the next 3-5 years and establish a new dynasty! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
