Thunder don t have to worry about disintegration, it won t be revived when the tragedy of the third young master Thunder is gone.
2:03pm, 11 July 2025【Basketball】
Yesterday, the Thunder announced that it would renew the contract with Homgren for a maximum annual of 250 million yuan, and they were all speculating how much Jaylen Williams would give? Today, the Thunder announced that it will sign a contract with Jewe for up to 5 years and 287 million yuan. Together with Alexander's 4 years and 285 million yuan, the total salary of the three is US$822 million. Moreover, the expiration date of the contracts of these three people is the same. There is no need to worry about the disintegration now, and you can strive for the second championship with peace of mind.
The disintegration of the "Thunder Three Young Masters" has always been a difficult time for many fans. Although the three of them have won many honors after they separated, many fans are still wondering if those three people had been together at the beginning, could they establish a "Thunder Dynasty".
Harden was the first to leave. There was no way. The Thunder gave too little while the Rockets gave too much. It also completely activated Harden. He scored various crazy points in the Rockets, got the scoring champion, and won the MVP, becoming the "Rockets" in the memory of many fans. Although Harden's ending with the Rockets was not very good, it did affect a generation of fans.
Harden is also very good at playing in the Clippers now. He stays in a place with family and friends. He also received a contract of 40 million yuan in annual salary this year, and is still one of the core of the team.
Durant was the second to leave. Compared to Harden's having to, the three of them seemed angry and went to defeat the Warriors. But Adu won the best honors in his career so far with the Warriors, two MVPs + two FMVPs. Although he left the Warriors in the end tragic, he really got everything he wanted.
Durant is also good now. Although he was traded by the Suns, he obviously has a better chance of hitting his third championship in the Rockets. Needless to say, the team's status is still at the big brother level.
Westbrook is the third time to leave. He held on to the Thunder for two seasons, won the title of triple-double king in history, and won the MVP. That is undoubtedly the highest moment in his career. But at the time, both the team and himself felt that it was time to leave and went to the Rockets to reunite with Harden, but the result was not ideal. Then he went to the Wizards, Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets... to wander all the way.
Westbrook should be the worst among the three. He is still floating in the free market and the next contract has not yet been settled. In fact, he is the youngest among the three, which is also determined by his playing style. He can fly and escape by relying on his body to enter the league, but after he was 33 years old, his body began to decline and his shooting was unstable. As a guard, it was really difficult to have three-pointers in this small ball era.
Back to the current Thunder, there are also three talented young players, Alexander is 26 years old, Jewish is 24 years old, and Homgren is 23 years old. The difference is that they have two of them won the championship together in their rookie season. The "Thunder Three Young Masters" failed in the finals. If they had won the championship at the beginning, it would have been another story.
Thunder did not recreate the tragedy of the disintegration, and directly renewed the contract with three people with a maximum salary one year in advance. Now he can safely win the second championship.
Many people say that these three people only have a chance next year, because they can still enjoy the year-on-year rookie bonus of Homegren and Jewe. If they don’t win the championship next year, they will still disintegrate.
To be honest, I don't believe that the Thunder will disintegrate if they don't win the championship next year. The Thunder made sufficient preparations this time. The expiration date of the contract between Alexander, Jewway and Homgren is the same, both of which expires in the 2030-31 season, which shows that they are preparing to fight a protracted battle. Moreover, the three of them are really young and are really likely to win another championship during the contract period. The only thing to worry about is the depth of the lineup, because the salary of the three of them accounts for 85% of the salary cap.
But the Thunder began planning for this moment in the same draft pick and financial flexibility to ensure that they have the championship at the peak of the stars.
