After leading the Green Army to the 18th championship in team history, Tatum also successfully won a five-year contract extension with a maximum salary of 315 million, and broke Brown's record of 5 years and 304 million dollars last summer, becoming the largest contract in NBA history. Tatum's salary for the past five years is $54.13 million, $58.46 million, $62.79 million, $67.12 million, and $71.45 million (player option)
It is worth mentioning that Kobe Bryant has played 20 years in his career, and his total salary is only $328 million, and Tatum's current contract is close to Kobe's total career income, which shows how exaggerated the current contract is.
Before Tatum, Brown had signed a big contract of $300 million with the Green Army, so that the Green Army had two gentlemen of 300 million at the same time, which was also the first time in history. And except for the Green Army, no other team in the league has yet Mr. 300 million. Of course, other teams will also have Mr. 300 million, such as Doncic and Alexander, who are expected to sign big contracts of more than $300 million in the future, and break the record of double tanhua. However, it may be difficult for other teams to have two Mr. 300 million at the same time like the Green Army.
The Green Army made history with two Mr. 300 million at the same time, while the 76ers also made history with three Mr. 200 million at the same time. The 76ers were the big winners this offseason, signing George to a four-year, $212 million max contract at no cost. In addition, the 76ers agreed to a five-year, $204 million contract extension with Maxey.
And Embiid signed a four-year, $208 million maximum salary contract with the 76ers in 2021, so in this way, there are three gentlemen of 200 million in the 76ers, which is also unique in the whole league, and the combined salaries of the three of them are no less than double tanhua.
Both the Green Army and the 76ers have strong lineups next season, both of which are contenders for the Eastern Conference championship and even the championship, and the Green Army has already won the championship. The Green Army and the 76ers are spending a lot of money, of course, just to win the championship, but if they fail to win the championship, they will face very big salary pressure and a lot of trouble in the future.
