162 million in 3 years! James accepted the maximum contract, Pierce mocked the Lakers, and Durant was disheartened

315 million in 5 years! The NBA's maximum salary record will be broken

Last offseason, Jaylen Brown renewed his contract with the Green Army for 5 years and 304 million US dollars, and also set the largest contract record in NBA history, however, this record is about to be broken, and the Green Army decided to renew Tatum's contract with a maximum salary, with a specific contract of 5 years and 315 million US dollars, which has surpassed Brown. Although Tatum did not get the FMVP, he was almost the best on the team in all statistics in the finals, and his role for the Green Army was obviously above Brown, such as assists, without Tatum's pass, Brown may not be able to break out. And just today, the Green Army held a championship celebration parade, during which Tatum said: "The media said that Brown and I couldn't win, we blocked that kind of speech, I trusted him, he trusted me, and we did it together." ”

Today's NBA big contracts are flying all over the sky, Tatum's record can only be maintained for one year, next offseason, Doncic is eligible to sign a five-year $346 million super cap salary with the Mavericks, which will set a new record again, Doncic has almost no downturn on the offensive end of the playoffs this year, although he is always complained about poor defense, but the Mavericks have no choice, and the maximum salary contract must be given. In addition to Tatum, the Green Army has another person waiting for a contract extension, he is White, he can sign a four-year, $126 million, similar to Holiday White's contract, White is an important contributor to the Green Army's championship this year, many meritorious contributions, and can average 16.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in the playoffs, shooting 45% from the field and 40% from three-point range.

Pierce mocked the Lakers

Because the Green Army won the championship this year, the number of championships in their team history came to 18, surpassing the Lakers' 17, the most in the league, Paul Pierce as a Green Army celebrity, today he mocked the Lakers, Pierce said: "If we win the mid-season championship, we won't hang the flag on the stadium, just let the Lakers do it," I have to complain, Pierce is really hard to say, from this it can also be seen that the Lakers and the Green Army are not only the biggest competitors, At the same time, it is also full of all kinds of grievances, no one can see each other's good, and many Lakers fans also said that if they can't eat grapes, they say that grapes are sour, and the Green Army will win a mid-season championship first.

James works miracles

There is a very exaggerated data, Redick entered the NBA three years later than James, but now he has become James's coach, so that Lao Zhan has created a new miracle in the NBA, according to statistics, the league has now 7 active coaches and James on the court, they are Udoka, Kidd, Ham, Tyronn Lue, Willie Green (Pelicans head coach), Billups (current Trail Blazers head coach), and Redick, James is worthy of the longest river in NBA history.

So, how will James renew his contract with the Lakers in the offseason? According to reports, James will not exercise the player option for next season, will jump out of the contract to become a free agent, and then sign a three-year, $162 million contract extension with the Lakers until the 2026-27 season, and this will also be the largest contract in James' career.

Durant was disheartened

According to a Woj report, Suns interior Eubanks will decline to exercise his $2.6 million player option and is likely to leave, while Damion Lee will exercise his $2.8 million player option and will continue to play for the Suns. But the Suns' current salary situation is very bad, Durant's salary next season is $51.18 million, Beal's 50.2 million, Booker's 49.35 million, the Big Three are too many, the important thing is that the Suns' current salary is as high as $206 million, and there is no way to strengthen it in the offseason, unless Beal is traded, but this is obviously unrealistic. During the Finals, it was reported that Durant was disheartened about the future of the Suns and didn't know how long the Grim Reaper could endure, so let's not be surprised if Durant requested a trade again.
