50 million is just the start! 8 players who may sign a super top salary during the offseason: Jokic 210 million in 3 years

4:15am, 20 May 2025【Basketball】

In the NBA, players will win big contracts every offseason. In this offseason, 22 draft picks such as Benchero and Jewish will have the opportunity to complete the signing of a super maximum salary. They can sign 247 million in five years this summer, and up to 297 million in five years. Although many players have not received a super maximum salary since the implementation of the new labor-management agreement, top stars will still get it. Next, let’s take a look at the 8 stars who are expected to sign a super maximum salary in the offseason.

Trey Young

Trey Young can sign a four-year, 229 million contract extension contract in the offseason. However, judging from the current situation, the Hawks are likely to not renew him. Everyone has seen it in the years around Trae Yang's team. Although they have reached a division final, they mainly encountered two opponents. The team has been in the playoff level in the past few years. Trae Yang's organizational ability is indeed very outstanding, but the offensive end is inefficient and has no defensive ability, which also makes Trae Yang unable to lead the team away. This season, this season, averaged 24.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 11.6 assists and 1.2 steals.

Irving

Irving can sign a contract renewal of up to 5 years and 310 million in the offseason, but Irving suffered a major injury this season. In this case, the Mavericks may choose to renew the contract with lower prices. Although the management had previously stated that it would renew Irving, it did not disclose how big the contract it was. Considering Irving's injury, he may not be able to reach a five-year long contract, which may be a 2+1 contract. Irving only wants to compete for the championship now, and he may choose to renew his contract with lower salary. Irving averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game this season.

Fox

Fox can sign a four-year, 230 million contract extension contract in the offseason. The Spurs are also willing to renew him. They hope to build a team around Fox and Wenban. The team may also trade the second pick in the offseason to try to get Durant or Antetokounmpo. If Hao is the super three, then the Spurs will definitely have the opportunity to complete their rise and reshape the glory of Duncan during the Duncan period. Fox's finishing ability is among the top in the active backcourt. Fox can average 23.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game this season.

Downs

Downs has the opportunity to sign a three-year, 210 million contract extension with the team during the offseason. Towns has proved himself this season. Since joining the Knicks, he has not been soft anymore and his performance is completely at the level of the top second-in-command. However, the Knicks may use him to exchange for Antetokounmpo. The news now is that the Alphabet is interested in the big ball market. If the Knicks fail to win the championship this season, the Knicks may continue to operate. The Knicks team is not short of money. Towns averaged 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1 steal per game, and is second in the league in rebounds per game.

Book

Book, like Towns, has the opportunity to sign a three-year, 210 million contract extension with the team. Previously, the Suns also expressed their hope to cooperate with Booker for a long time. They regard Booker as the cornerstone of the team. The team will try to send Durant and Bill away in the offseason to rebuild the team around Booker. Booker has struggled in the past two seasons, and he has not been in the No. 2 position he adapts to, so it also makes everyone forget how terrible the real firepower of the league's No. 1 point guard is. Booker averaged 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game this season.

James

James can sign a three-year, 175 million contract extension with the team during the offseason, or a two-year, 104 million contract extension. The news from the US media is that James will not choose to cut his salary. He may play for another year or two years. The outside world believes that one year may be even bigger. To be honest, I think it will be two years. After all, Bryce will enter the league in the summer of 26, and James will go on another retirement tour. Although James is still in great shape at the age of 40, he averages 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1 steal per game this season.

Jokic

Jokic has the opportunity to sign a three-year, 212 million contract with the team during the offseason. Jokic once signed the first maximum salary in history that year. If this signing is completed, his remaining contract will be 350 million in five years, which is quite explosive. As the number one person in the league, it is reasonable that Jokic can get such a large contract. The Nuggets must be willing to keep him for a long time, because he is the biggest guarantee for the championship. Jokic averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game this season, and is the third player in history to average triple-double.

Alexander

Alexander had the opportunity to sign a four-year, 293 million contract extension with the Thunder during the offseason. Originally, Doncic was able to sign a larger contract than Alexander, but as a result, the Mavericks' deal caused him to lose 100 million contract extension. In this case, he may choose to renew his contract next year. In terms of his performance in the past few years, Alexander is also worthy of such a large contract extension. This season, Alexander averaged 32.7 points, 5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 block, and led the team to the Western Conference Finals.
