The first person in the NBA! 321 million + 75 million annual salary in 5 years, Booker may become the highest salary in the NBA, I envy you

On June 11, according to ESPN famous reporter Marc Stein, Suns star Devin Booker will be eligible for early renewal on July 7, and is expected to sign a two-year, $149.8 million super maximum salary contract.

Plus the existing contract, Booker's total salary in the next five years will reach US$321 million, of which the annual salary in the 2029-30 season is as high as US$75.1 million, surpassing Tatum (71.45 million) and becoming the highest-paid player in NBA history in a single season.

If the contract renewal is completed, Booker's salary distribution is as follows:

2025-26 season: 53.1 million US dollars

2026-27 season: 57.1 million US dollars

2027-28 season: 61 million US dollars

2028-29 season: 74.7 million US dollars

2029-30 season: 75.1 million US dollars

This contract will make Booker the first player in the NBA to have an annual salary of more than $75 million, far exceeding maximum-salary stars such as Tatum (315 million in 5 years) and Jaylen Brown (304 million in 5 years).

So the question is, is the Sun willing to give Booker such a big contract?

Since entering the NBA in 2015, Booker has been the Suns' star, leading the team to the Finals in 2021 and was selected into the All-Star four times. Recently, there is news that Durant hopes to be traded to the Spurs, and if he leaves the team, Booker will become the only core of the Suns.

This season, Booker averaged 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.2%, with the lowest score per game in seven years, and the second-last three-point shooting percentage in his career.

There is no doubt that Booker is a top scorer, but his ability to lead the team is questioned. His winning rate in the first six years of his career has never exceeded 46%, and it has become the norm for every game to be cut.

If Adu leaves the team, the Suns will enter the "Booker + Bill" dual-core era, but neither of them is the top organizer, and the lineup is obviously short of it. With such a core, it is difficult for the Suns to achieve great things in the wild West. With an annual salary of

75 million, is Booker worthy of this sky-high contract?
