signed! 2 years and 21 million US dollars! A big winner in life, he has earned 274 million in his career

I have to admit that some people are born with good fate, even if they are almost 37 years old, they can still get a big contract in the NBA. There is no doubt that Mike Conley, the first person in the history of the league to sign a contract extension with a maximum salary of $150 million, is super lucky, because he can always stand up quickly and get a contract extension every time he arrives at a team!

No, it's just over the 2024 Indiana All-Star Weekend, and the Minnesota Timberwolves can't wait to offer a contract extension for Mike Conley, who is about to turn 37. Minnesota Timberwolves veteran guard Mike Conley has agreed to an early contract extension with the team on a two-year, $21 million contract, according to ESPN Register. That's right, Conley Sr. once again won an early contract extension! To get such a good contract extension at this age makes people envious and jealous when they think about it.

This summer, McConley's original contract will expire! But until then, the Timberwolves will not allow their own anchor to enter the free agency to test the waters. So, they decisively used a two-year, $21 million contract to successfully keep him in Minnesota, and he will belong here for the next two years! Next, Conley will continue to assist the young Edwards, Towns, and Gobert triumvirate to attack the championship!

With an early contract extension with the Timberwolves, McConley's partnership with the Timberwolves will continue until the 2025-26 season. At that time, Conley, who is about to turn 39, will most likely end his career as a Timberwolves player! If he can win the championship in more than two years, his career will be super successful. Because he has earned enough dollars, and he can eventually retire as a champion defender, wouldn't that be a super winner in life!

But even if Conley fails to help the Timberwolves win the championship in the end, he can be called a big winner in life! Because before signing the two-year, $21 million contract extension with the Timberwolves, his 17-year career has earned $274 million! It is very incredible to think about it! If you add the two-year $21 million signed today, Mike Conley's total career salary will reach a terrifying $295 million, which is astronomical for most people.

Since starting his career with the Grizzlies with the fourth pick in the first round of the 2007 draft, Mike Conley has played for the Grizzlies, Jazz, and Timberwolves. It is worth mentioning that he has been awarded contract extensions with all three teams. Among them, in the summer of 2016, he signed the largest super maximum salary extension contract with his old club Grizzlies at that time: 153 million for 5 years. In 2021, he signed a three-year, 68 million contract extension with the Utah Jazz, and now he has signed a two-year contract extension of 21 million with the Timberwolves. Being able to get a contract extension at a different team is enough to say how popular Conley is!

In Conley's 17 seasons in the NBA, he played in 1,075 regular season games, averaging 14.5 points, 3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 43.9% from the field, 38.6% from three-point range and 82.2% from the free throw line. In 78 playoff games, he averaged 15.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 41.7% from the field, 35.7% from three-point range and 81.8% from the free throw line. Whether it is the regular season or the high-intensity playoffs, Conley's performance is as solid as a rock, which is probably the reason for his popularity so far, and he is a piece of the championship puzzle.
