According to famous reporter Marc Stein, Suns star Booker is eligible for a two-year, $150 million early renewal contract starting July 7.

Then Evan Sidery analyzed Booker's future salary. Once Booker renews his contract, his contract will last until 2030, with a total contract amount of $321 million, of which the salary in the last season exceeded $75 million. The salary in the next five seasons will be 53.1 million, 57.1 million, 61 million, 74.7 million, and 75.1 million respectively. The contract surpassed Tatum's new contract last year, and Booker became the highest salary in the league.

This season, Booker averaged 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game. The Suns ranked 11th in the Western Conference in the regular season and did not enter the playoffs. Booker's new contract is three times that of Rockets guard Jaylen Green. Last summer, Jaylen Green and the Rockets signed a three-year, $106 million contract, which will take effect next season. Next season, Jaylen Green will earn $33.33 million. However, Rockets management believes that Booker, 28, has more potential than Jaylen Green, 23.

The new contract extension means that Booker spent the peak of his career in the sun. Moreover, while signing a new contract, it also increases the difficulty of trading Booker in the later stages of the Suns. It also broke the rumors about Sun trading Booker.

The Suns have three top 7 players this season, namely Durant in third, Bill in fourth and Booker in seventh. Moreover, the Suns' draft picks for the next seven years have been traded out. It can be said that the Sun puts all hope for the future on Booker.

It is worth mentioning that the highest salary player next season is Warriors defender Curry, with a contract of $59.61 million. Entering the 26/27 season, only Curry's salary is more than $60 million. Theoretically, stars such as James, Durant, Curry, and Harden will not be able to get more than $70 million in their careers.
