Three new stars will impact 500 million fat in the future! Annual salaries skyrocketed: more than $110 million in the final year
Beijing time on September 21, according to the US media Baketball Forever, Edwards, Sanqiu and Haliburton have signed a 5-year 260 million maximum salary contract this offseason, and when this top salary contract ends, they are expected to impact the 5-year fat contract of nearly 500 million, and the last year can exceed 110 million US dollars, which looks too shocking.
According to the report, if the NBA salary cap rises by 10% per year like in 2023, then when the top salary contracts of the three rising stars end, they will have the opportunity to sign a five-year super contract of about $494.8 million. The breakdown of this contract is as follows -
Year 1: $84.3 million
Year 2: $91.1 million
Year 3: $98.4 million
Year 4: $106.2 million
Year 5: $114.7 million
The total salary is $494.8 million
How scary is this total salary figure? James' total salary over his 20-year career was $434.9 million.
This offseason, all three new stars signed five-year, 260 million fat contracts, and they are all very young. Haliburton is 23 years old, and Sanqiu and Edwards are only 22 years old. By the time they finish their current five-year contract (both effective for the 2024-25 season), Haliburton is 29 years old, and Three-Ball and Edwards are only 28 years old, both in their prime, and there is undoubtedly a good chance of getting another super top salary. It is worth mentioning that the three were all rookies of the 2020-21 season, and in the end, the three goals were selected as the best rookie of the year.
Last season, all three rising stars performed well. Haliburton averaged 20.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists per game, 23.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists in three games, and Edwards averaged 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. However, in terms of fitness, only Edwards is healthy, playing 79 regular season games, the other two are plagued by injuries, Haliburton has only played 56 games, and three goals are worse, multiple ankle injuries, only 36 games.
