NBA player contracts soared, said that more people who earn more than 70 million yuan in annual salary may be next year

The finals have not been completed, and each team has begun to prepare for the offseason. This summer will probably be very lively, and many stars will have to change teams or sign new contracts. Now the maximum salary contract is rising. It was rare for 20 million to be a decade ago, but now it is 50 million to 60 million a year.

Celtic Tatum signed 314 million in five years last year, with an average of more than 60 million per year, and will get more than 70 million by 2029. His teammate Brown also signed 304 million yuan for five years, and the combined salary of the two is scary enough. Tatum has performed well in the past two years, averaging nearly triple-double per game in the playoffs, and led the team to a full rush before being injured. Brown's numbers are almost there, but the team is willing to spend money on the Gemini.

Suns Booker may become the new maximum salary king. His current contract is 62,000 yuan per year until 2028. This time he will renew his contract in advance for 149.8 million yuan in two years, and he will get 75 million yuan in the next year. Booker is 28 years old this year and is facing thirty four years later. He is not as good as he was two years ago. In 2023, he averaged 33 points per game and shot 58% of the shooting percentage, but the Suns were eliminated in the second round.

Book's data has declined in the past two seasons, with averaging from 27.8 to 25.6, and his shooting percentage has also dropped. The team changed Durant but the results did not improve and did not even make the playoffs this year. The Suns lost some defensive players to exchange for Bills, and the trio is not going well now. After Paul retired, Booker was forced to hold the ball more, which affected the offensive efficiency. In the past, Ayton and Craig helped to defend, but now the lineup adjustment has led to changes in the style of play. Durant is likely to leave the team. Booker and Bill will probably partner with each other, and their results will not be better than this year.

The NBA is rich now, with the number of TV broadcast fees rising, there are more sponsors, and the team will dare to spend money if they make more money. But giving veterans a maximum salary is very risky. Can Booker remain in shape until he is thirty? The sun spent so much money to get water from a bamboo basket. Other teams are also competing for players, and there will be big deals in the offseason. You can only wait and see how they change.

Tatum's injury has just recovered and his contract pressure is high in the next few years. Can Brown make progress with a big contract? These stars may not win the championship with just money, but they also depend on the team's cooperation. Now that the NBA spends more and more ruthlessly, there will be more contracts for 100 million yuan in the future, but no one can tell the actual effect.
