Create history! Booker renewed his contract with Suns for 145 million in 2 years, with an average salary of more than SGA and topped the league

How exaggerated is the NBA's money now? Probably beyond what we all imagine.

Just a few days ago, everyone was amazed at the Thunder's SGA (Alexander) that signed the four-year, 285 million yuan, with an average salary of up to $71.25 million. But who would have thought that he had not even been firmly in the throne of the No. 1 player in NBA history!

Just today, the record was once again trampled on!

According to the famous reporter Shams, Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has finalized a two-year, super maximum salary renewal contract with the team for an early contract of 145 million US dollars. The horror of this contract is that its average annual salary has reached $72.5 million! It is this number that directly breaks the record that SGA just set, and Booker becomes the league's new "king of average salary". The record of the NBA is used to be broken by the speed of light in recent years. The maximum salary record has changed like playing a game of chair grabbing, one faster than the other, and one more ruthless: First, the Celtics Brown signed the first 300 million contract in history (304 million in five years). Not long after, his teammate Tatum surpassed him with a 5-year, 314 million contract.

Then there is SGA, who was named the gods last season. With the honors of the championship and dual MVP, he signed a four-year contract of 285 million yuan, with the highest average salary in history and the limelight.

I thought the SGA record would last for a while, but his honor was too tough. As a result, Booker stood up. Although Booker led the team in a mess last season and didn't even make it into the playoffs, this did not affect Suns owner Matt Ishbiya's huge sum of money for him.

The Sun is betting on Booker's loyalty and future

Then again, there is a reason why Booker can get this contract.

is loyalty first. Since being selected in 2015, Booker has been in the city of Phoenix for a full ten years. This is really rare today when stars often apply for transactions. Secondly, he has excellent scoring explosive power, and the shocking 70 points in a single game is the best proof.

But the problem also follows. The Suns have just traded Durant, and the lineup is still in a pain period of reconstruction. Now, using such a sky-high contract to lock Booker, the future operation space will be almost blocked. This is very similar to the Thunder that everyone was worried about before. Alexander Gachette's contract is more than 500 million. How can Jaylen Williams be kept in the future? Is the Suns’ current gamble a good move to stabilize the morale of the army or the last straw that will crush the future?

Don't worry, the real "big boss" is still at the end

Book's first average salary record lasts? I'm afraid it's also very unwinding.

, Jokic of the Denver Nuggets has made it clear that A will not renew his contract this summer. According to the calculations of the salary expert, if the appointment teacher delays the contract renewal until next summer, he is eligible to sign a four-year, $292 million super contract, and his average salary will directly soar to $73 million!

I have to say that we are witnessing the craziest era, and the contract numbers of stars have broken through the sky.

So fans, do you think Booker's contract is worth it? Is this Suns losing or making a profit in this wave of operations? Come to the comment section to talk about your opinions.
