75 million in one year! The largest contract in NBA history, but you are not worthy of the maximum salary! Say goodbye to the champion

The finals have not been finished, and the NBA market has been in a turmoil. Most teams have begun to formulate off-season lineup changes and player contract renewal plans to prepare for the next season in advance. As Shams said, this summer's offseason will be crazy because there are many potential big-name stars who may be traded. There are also some stars waiting to renew their contracts with the team. With the increasing revenue of NBA TV broadcasting, commercial sponsorship cooperation income, ticketing income, etc., the salaries of NBA players are also rising. In the league 10 years ago, an annual salary of 20 million yuan was rare, and now the annual salary for 40 to 50 million yuan is everywhere. The largest contract holder of the current NBA is Celtics star Tatum. During the offseason last year, he signed a five-year, $3.14 contract with the team.

The average annual salary of this contract is more than 60 million. By the 29-30 season in five years, Tatum's annual salary will exceed 70 million US dollars. Before Tatum, Brown, the second-in-commander of the Celtics, also signed a five-year maximum salary contract of 304 million yuan, which has been the largest contract record holder for a while. But to be honest, Tatum is definitely worth it. He has been a top five MVP star in the past two seasons. This year's playoffs, he can average 28.1 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists. As the boss of the team, he worked hard and fought for the season reimbursement of the Achilles tendon to tear the season. But you, Brown, also scored 300 million in 5 years, isn't it a bit of a premium? Brown averaged only 22 points per game this year's playoffs. Of course, the Celtics are also happy. They just want to build a championship lineup around the double-Tanhua.

For Tatum, it will be a matter of 5 years to get an annual salary of 70 million yuan. However, there is a star who may get an annual salary of more than 75 million yuan in four years, and that is Devin Booker of the Suns. According to reporter Marc Stein, Booker is expected to receive an early renewal contract issued by the Sun this summer. The contract is two years and the total price can reach US$149.8 million. In this way, Booker may surpass Tatum and become the holder of the highest annual salary in the active league, with an annual salary of 75 million. As early as 222 years, Booker reached a four-year, $224 million early contract renewal with the Suns. This contract will last until the 27-28 season, when his annual salary was $62 million. If his contract renewal is renewed this summer, his annual salary will reach 75 million by the 28-29 season. What is the level of an annual salary of 75 million in the NBA? I couldn't even think about it before. This is about 20 years ago, the salary of a whole team in the league. Of course, the NBA is really good now and it is becoming more and more rich. So is Booker worth it to get an annual salary of 75 million yuan? My review is not worth it at all. Because Booker is not a young star, before he knew it, Booker is actually 28 years old. Four years later, he will reach 32 years old. It is hard to say whether he can maintain his peak period. Moreover, in the past two years, Booker has even begun to decline and it is difficult to break through his own upper limit. The 22-23 season was his peak period. He averaged 27.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in the regular season. Booker is even more amazing in the playoffs, scoring 33.7 points per game and shooting a shocking 58.5%.

However, that year, the Suns were unable to beat four-handed with two punches in the playoffs. With Durant and Booker alone, Paul was also injured. The players of other roles were limited in ability. In the end, the Suns were eliminated by the Devil Nuggets in six games in the second round. What's worse is that in the following two seasons, Booker failed to continue his 23-year hot state. Last season, his average score fell to 27 points, and continued to decline to 25.6 points this season, and his shooting percentages in both events also dropped by 3 percentage points. The title of the league's number one point guard is probably to Edwards. Why Booker's regression is so serious must have a lot to do with the lineup changes. In the past few years, the Suns had Ayton, Da Joe, Craig, and Cameron Johnson to support the defensive system, Paul organized the whole game, and Booker just scored. And now the Suns, Durant has become the leader.

In addition, in exchange for Bill, the Suns also sacrificed a lot of bargaining chips. Although they gathered the super three, the compatibility of the three was extremely poor. None of them could organize the field control. Booker obviously had a more outstanding ability to do without the ball. The Suns now had to let him take on more ball-holding tasks. After leaving his offensive comfort zone, Booker's ability declined was inevitable. Booker two years ago, he received a big contract with an annual salary of 75 million, but now he is definitely not worth the price. Not only does his personal ability decline, but his team's record has also declined. This year, the Suns have not even made it into the playoffs. This offseason, Durant's departure is a foregone conclusion. So how far can the Suns go with Booker and Bill, two premium brothers joining forces next season? It is definitely not as good as this season. It is basically impossible for Booker to compete for the championship with the Suns.
