In just 8 days, Alexander s record of high salary broke! 145 million in 2 years and the first garbage contract in history is booked?

So far this year's offseason, several players have renewed new contracts with their parent team.

The most noteworthy of the new champion Oklahoma City Thunder.

Thunder completed two heavyweight renewals in the previous two days. First, he renewed his contract with the star Alexander for US$280 million in four years.

Just a week later, the Thunder took action again, locking center Chet Homgren with a five-year, $250 million contract.

This summer, the Thunder spent $530 million, and this team will succeed if they fail in the future. Because these two big contracts will completely lock the Thunder's salary space, and they are also Jaylen Williams waiting for a maximum salary renewal contract, so the Thunder's future is full of uncertainty.

It is worth mentioning that after the Thunder renewed his contract with Alexander in advance, his annual salary of more than $71 million a year set a new record for the league, becoming the highest annual salary in NBA history.

What's more interesting is that the record set by Alexander was broken by Suns star Devin Booker in just 8 days.

On July 10, famous reporter Shams reported that the source revealed that Booker had $145 million in two years and his maximum salary renewed his contract with Suns in advance!

Shams also said that Booker created the highest average annual salary in the NBA in "early renewal" (72.5 million, compared with Alexander's average of 71.25 million).

The contract with Suns before Booker renews early will end in the summer of 2028, and after the early renewal, it will end in the summer of 2030.

This contract renewal will bring Booker's total career salary to 534 million.

According to statistics from US media HoopsHype, Booker is currently the third highest-salary player in NBA history, second only to James 584 million and Curry's 536 million.

According to previous analysis by Evan Sidery, Booker's total career salary is expected to exceed $700 million when he retires, which does not include off-court income.

The news of Booker's super maximum salary renewal came, and the industry was generally in an uproar. It is hard to imagine that the NBA's maximum salary has reached this outrageous level now.

You should know that Hall of Fame point guard Steve Nash only earned a total of $140 million in his career, and Booker made money Nash earned in his entire life in playing basketball in two years.

As for Booker's contract will become the first junk contract in history, or will it be worth the money for the Sun? I can only say that each has its own opinions.

The fans who support Booker think this contract renewal is fine. I summarized the reasons:

Their own children are in love with their own family. Only Suns fans have many years of understanding why Booker renews. Because the Suns' draft in recent years is hard to describe.

A few years ago, the Suns chose Bendall + Josh Jackson in the Double 4 pick. That year, Markies Chris, who picked Ryan in the No. 5 pick in the early years, and Ayton was selected in the No. 4 pick. It can be said that since the 10s, only Booker has made a lottery draw from the Sun. He himself has expressed his meaning of ending his life, and it is understandable that the Sun renews his contract.

Moreover, after the Suns and Booker renew their contract, if they really don't have the next two years, they can still exchange things. Otherwise, if Booker does not renew his contract, the team will be very passive.

As for the amount, although it is a little higher now, it will gradually be accepted as the salary cap rises in the future. In the past 20 years, if players with annual salary of tens of millions are not good, they can be said to be high and low-cost; now, substitutes can sign 20 million yuan per year, and the salary cap determines that the salary of maximum-paying players in the future will only get higher and higher.

As for the view that Booker is a brush, he actually needs to have this ability. In the past 10 years, Booker has scored the top 10 in total; 20+ in 27 single quarters; 40+ in consecutive games in the finals; 8 games in the playoffs; 47 career games, with an average of 28+5+5 and a shooting percentage of 48%. This is not something that can be achieved by brushing.

Of course, most of the views believe that the Sun is really crazy, and Booker is useless except for occasionally scoring points. The sun is about to return to the ranks of fish!

Fan friends, what do you think?
