On June 11, the NBA Suns made a big news! Famous reporter Stein revealed that Booker can sign a two-year contract renewal of 149.8 million yuan after July 7. Once it is reached, his total contract amount by 2030 will reach US$321 million, directly breaking the largest contract record in history! What’s even more scary is that his annual salary will surge to 75 million in the 2029-30 season. What does this money mean in the history of the NBA? Jordan, Kobe, James never received such an exaggerated contract at his peak. Is Booker going to become a "salary ceiling"? But the question is, he led the team to the finals and has not won the championship yet. The Suns have spent so much money on him. Should they bet on the peak or bet on the future?
Many foreign media released news at the same time that Suns new coach Jordan Ultra publicly stated that "it is absolutely based on Booker as the core of the team" and said, "He is at the peak, and we must help him win the championship." This sounds quite exciting, but there is a heart-wrenching reality behind it: the Suns have exceeded 150 million in luxury tax this season but have not even made the playoffs. The boss Matt Ishbiya is probably in pain. Renewing Booker now means that the salary space will be locked in the next few years, let alone the Big Three - and there is news that Durant will be sent away before the Suns draft! You should know that Durant is the former core of the team. When trading him at this time, is it a reconstruction or a failure to give up? Foreign media analyzed that the Suns' move is extremely risky, and they bet that Booker can carry the flag, but if he can't lead the team, the team may be bad for several years.
Book is 29 years old this year, averaging 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists last season. The data is indeed beautiful, but looking at the Western Conference, he is facing old monsters like Jokic and James, as well as new generation ruthless people such as Doncic and Wenban Yama. What's more dramatic is Durant's trading trends - famous reporter Sam Amico said he wants to go to the Spurs and form the three giants with Wenban Yama and Fox! Now Wenban Yama is "retreatment practice" in Shaolin Temple in China. If this is really done, the Spurs must not take off directly? Think about it, Durant's peak tail is matched with the talented monster of Wenban, and Fox's speed, the Western Conference pattern is probably going to be completely reshuffled! Some people say that Durant went to the Spurs to compete for the championship, but the Rockets obviously have more bargaining chips, but Uduka doesn't like him. Is there anything else that doesn't tell? Who knows? Anyway, the West is lively now. The Thunder Nuggets and Clippers are not good at Lakers. If the Spurs suddenly rise, that would be exciting!
At present, Booker's super contract is sure to build a team around him, and he has to take a gamble even if the luxury tax bill is over. If Durant really goes to the Spurs, the Western Conference will definitely be bloody next season - can Wenban Yama replicate the Duncan legend? Can Booker lead the team to make a breakthrough after getting a sky-high contract? How will veteran powerhouses such as the Thunder Nuggets deal with it? Now it's all unknowns. But one thing is clear: there have always been many stories in the NBA, but this time, the Suns' gamble and the Spurs' ambitions collided. The trading market in the next few months is probably better than the playoffs!
