The first NBA Mr. 7,000!

The remaining heat in the NBA free agent market has not yet passed, and the Thunder are not willing to fall behind. After winning the championship this year, they did not make any moves in the free market, but today they made the biggest move, renewing Alexander's contract and giving a maximum salary, making Alexander the highest annual salary in NBA history!

According to shams, the Thunder just reached a four-year, $285 million contract with the star Alexander, with an average annual salary of $71.25 million. The highest one can get 78.77 million US dollars. It can be said that it is getting rich overnight and has reached the peak of life. Since then, Alexander has also become the highest annual salary player in NBA history!

are both 26 years old, let's see how the annual salary of the other two stars who are the same age as Alexander?

Doncic's contract this year is US$46 million. He originally had the hope of getting a large contract of more than US$70 million, but Mavericks management Harrison believes that Doncic is not worth that much money, so he decisively let Doncic go! Before that, Tatum was the highest annual salary in the league. His annual salary in his last season was $71.45 million, making him the first player in NBA history to have an annual salary of more than $70 million.

Compared to Tatum, Alexander's salary is higher, 78.77 million to 71.45 million, which is about 7 million more. It has to be said that playing for one year now means many years of expiration!

And is Alexander worth the contract? There is no doubt that if he is not worth it, then no one will be worth it. He can be said to be the biggest winner of this year. In the 18-19 season, Alexander was selected by the Clippers, attended all the first season, played all 82 games, and then was traded to the Thunder. As for why he was traded? This has something to do with Leonard. At that time, Ronald told the Clippers that if he wanted him to come, George had to join first. The Clippers had no choice but to trade with the Thunder for George.

It can be said that this deal shapes a championship team in disguise, not the Clippers, but the Thunder. At that time, the Clippers spent a total of 7 first-round picks, including Alexander, which is equivalent to 8 first-round picks. This also allowed the Thunder to accumulate enough capital, thus creating the Thunder, the champion team today.

So after signing this contract, Alexander became the real winner and the biggest winner in the NBA this year. Let’s see how many honors he has achieved in this year? In the 2024-2025 season, he won the scoring champion with averaging 32.7 points per game, and won the NBA regular season MVP trophy, won the NBA Best Team First Team, won the NBA Western Conference Finals MVP, won the championship, and won the Finals FMVP, and won 6 awards in one year. It can be said that he was responsible for all the important awards this year.

What's more terrifying is that Alexander is different from Tatum. After winning the championship, the Celtics immediately faced a super luxury tax. The team could not bear it. The boss directly sold the team. The Thunder is different. Many players are the first salary in their careers, which is not high. The team's salary pressure is not that great, and the team's champion members are very young and do not need to spend a lot of money to sign up, so this is just the beginning.

Then, it is hard to say whether Alexander can become the league's appearance for the time being, but there is a fact that cannot be denied. The Thunder will have the opportunity to charge again for the championship in the next few years. In the past 10 years, no team has been able to defend the title successfully, but the Thunder has a very great opportunity. Young is capital. It is very likely that the Thunder is the second team after the Lakers Ok combination and can win three consecutive championships. No matter what, for Alexander, this year is the most perfect year in his career.
