$35 million in 2 years!$120 million in 8 years!NBA god-level record was born, and Bobo is the king

NBA big contracts are flying all over the sky, and the coach's salary is also rising, Monty just signed a 6-year 78.5 million contract last summer, and his record was broken by Spoo's 8-year 120 million, Popovich's 16 million salary is the highest in the league, and soon Kerr will get an annual salary of 17.5 million to break Bobo's record, NBA coaches do not have a salary cap, the boss can give as much as he wants, and the salary record of future coaches will continue to be refreshed.

2 years, $35 million, Kerr renews his contract with the Warriors

On February 24, the Warriors and Kerr agreed to a two-year, $35 million early contract extension, and Kerr's annual salary reached $17.5 million, which also made him the highest-paid coach in NBA history. The previous high was Popovich's 16 million, and Kerr surpassed his mentor in terms of salary.

Kerr became the head coach of the Warriors in 2014, when he signed a five-year, $25 million contract with the team and an annual salary of $5 million, Kerr has coached the Warriors for 10 years, leading the team to four championships.

Previously, it was reported that the Warriors would renew Kerr's contract for 5 years and 100 million, and in the end, it was only 2 years and 35 million to renew Kerr's contract, and Kerr's contract will expire in 26, which is exactly the same as Curry's remaining contract.

The Warriors' reluctance to give Kerr a long-term contract is also related to the Warriors' future development positioning, the American media predicts that the Warriors and Lakers will go downhill in the future, maybe the Warriors think they need a more experienced coach to lead the team to rebuild, or Kerr is unwilling to coach the Warriors for a long time and wants to go to other teams to develop, so the 2-year contract is acceptable for both parties.

A coach like Kerr is still very sought-after in the league, and even if the Warriors do not renew Kerr's contract in 26, he can still sign a coaching contract with an annual salary of $15 million to another team.

With 120 million US dollars in 8 years, Spo set a god-level record

Back on January 10, the Heat announced an eight-year, 120 million contract extension with Spo, which is also the all-time record of a single coach contract in the NBA.

Spo has been with the Heat since 1995, first as a video analyst for four years, an assistant coach in 1999, a scouting director and tenacious assistant coach in 2001, and Riley in 2008 when he stepped over to Spo as head coach, and he has been in the league for 16 years, the second-longest tenure coach on the same team after Popovich.

Spo led the team to the Finals 4 times in a row and won 2 championships in the Heat Big 3 era, and after Butler joined in 2020, Spo led the team to the Finals 2 times, and he is also the NBA history Spo became the 7th coach in NBA history to reach the Finals 6 times. It was this brilliant resume that Riley chose to give Spo an 8-year long contract.

Spo's 8-year 120 million contract seems to be very large, but his average salary of 15 million is not high, and the annual salary of 15 million after 8 years may be the price of cabbage, Cole's annual salary of 5 million in 14 years is the highest price in the league, and now the average annual salary of coaches has reached about 8 million.

Riley's 8-year contract with Spo is actually a calculation, he gave Spo an appointment to tie up the latter, so that Spo will coach in the Heat for the rest of his life, and the shrewd Riley can only coach at the upper middle level.

With 80 million US dollars in 5 years, Bobo is the king

Cole's 2-year 37 million, Spo's 8-year 120 million are not worth mentioning compared to Popovich's 5-year 80 million.

Last summer, the Spurs announced a five-year, 80 million contract extension with Popovich, and for a small city team like the Spurs, giving Popov an annual salary of 16 million is a bit outrageous.

But Bobo is definitely worthy of an annual salary of 16 million, Popovich has been the head coach of the Spurs for 26 consecutive years since he coached the Spurs in the 96-97 season, and has helped the team build a dynasty. During Popovich's tenure, the Spurs have won five championships.

Popovich is 74 years old, and the Spurs are willing to give him a 5-year long contract is the greatest trust in him, just imagine Kerr, Spo is bullish, they are unlikely to be 80 years old and still coach in the NBA, and Popovich can still be the team coach at the age of 79, and he will also set a record for the oldest coach in the NBA.

Popovich is willing to continue coaching the Spurs without returning home, in addition to his desire to make more money, the more critical reason is that the Spurs got the first pick to sign Wembanyama, Popovich believes that he can train Wembanyama into a new Duncan to help the Spurs build a dynasty again.

Popovich's other job is the Spurs' director of basketball operations, even if he can't coach for 5 years due to physical reasons, he will get the amount of the remaining contract, which is the same as the amount of the remaining years of the contract after the NBA player signs the contract, even if he is injured and scrapped, only Bobo has this treatment among the 30 coaches of the NBA team, such as Kerr If he is fired by the Warriors, he can only get the negotiated compensation amount, and he cannot get the full salary of 37 million for 2 years.

In this way, Bobo is the king of coaches, not only got a high salary of 16 million, but also has the security that others do not have, the Spurs are willing to give Bobo such generous conditions, obviously because they value Bobo's historical status and his contribution to the team, in this regard, Bobo is the king of 30 NBA coaches, and he is the only existence. Fans, what do you think about this?
