Murray has just reached a four-year, $208 million contract extension with the Nuggets, and his teammate's contract extension plan is also on the agenda.
It is true that as a T0-level player in the league, Mr. Yoo's value is not only incomparable to his teammates, but even in the league, there are few supergiants who can match. After all, it involves the renewal of the teacher's contract, but it is all a historical refresher.
Do you remember the last contract extension you had with your teacher?
In 2022, he reached a five-year super cap salary of $276 million with the Nuggets, setting the largest contract in NBA history at that time, and was later surpassed by the Green Army Shuangtanhua one by one (Brown 304 million in 5 years, Otter Rabbit 315 million in 5 years).
But it doesn't matter, Mr. Yue is about to get back his "record".
According to the collective bargaining agreement, he can negotiate an early contract extension with the Nuggets next summer and is eligible to sign a three-year, $212.2 million contract with a maximum salary;
And if you have the patience to wait until 2026 to renew your contract early, Mr. Yoo's renewal contract can be stretched to a five-year $379.9 million super maximum salary contract!
379.9 million in 5 years, with an average salary of nearly 76 million US dollars, which the older generation of players from decades ago had to toss for several years to earn
I have to say that the current batch of NBA players has really caught up with the good times, what is the difference between this and the money car driving directly to the home? This prosperous world is really as Thomas Jr. wishes.
Of course, Mr. Yue did match such glory and wealth;
At the team level, he led the Nuggets to win the first championship trophy in team history; At the personal level, through the first rich to lead the later rich, let the teammates all embark on the road of well-off.
Murray, Porter Jr., Gordon, no matter which core signs a big contract, must be inseparable from Mr. Yue's "help", right?
On the one hand, it is 212.2 million for 3 years, and on the other hand, it is 379.9 million for 5 years, so what kind of renewal contract will Mr. Yue choose?
This still has to be screened according to Mr. Yue's own ideas;
Choosing the first option, the starting salary is slightly increased. Because the 62.84 million player option in the final year of the original contract will be covered by 65.5 million in the first year of the new contract, but the total contract amount in hand is certainly not as long as 5 years.
If Mr. Yoo chooses this 3-year contract, there is only one idea: to settle down.
That's what the Knicks' Brunson did this year, reaching a 4-year 156.5 million contract extension with the team, and if he waits until next year's contract extension, he can actually get 269 million for 5 years, and 112.5 million less before and after!
While admiring Brunson's extraordinary courage, the brothers also had to pay close attention to his employment environment;
Under the system of farmer Thibodeau, it is too difficult to maintain a healthy body and stabilize his value, and Hart, who is as strong as Iron Man, collapsed in the shadow of his sword last season.
Therefore, Brunson's wave is a clear discerning of benefits and losses, decisively harvesting rice in advance, and not daring to use the uncertain future to gain greater benefits.
Malone certainly does not have the main force of Thibodeau, but considering the irreplaceable tactical position of Mr. Yoo, extremely high utilization rate is completely inevitable, so his injury risk is actually no less than that of the Knicks.
In short, if you want to avoid risks, you can start from 212.2 million in 3 years, and if you wait for 2026 with confidence and health, the first contract in history of 379.9 million in 5 years will be a real reward.
