Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is eligible for a supermax contract extension worth around $357 million over four years. However, if he waits until next year to sign, he could potentially land a five-year deal worth $413 million, making him one of the highest-paid players in the league. This decision will likely depend on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s plans for building a competitive team around him and their salary cap situation.
The potential contracts would break down as follows:
– $357 million over 4 years: $30-80 million per year
– $413 million over 5 years: averaging around $82-83 million per year
This significant contract extension would solidify Gilgeous-Alexander’s financial future and reflect his value to the Thunder franchise.
