509 million in 5 years! Congratulations! The NBA has really changed...

Since these rookies entered the league, many salary websites have lamented that this group of players may be the happiest generation, and here they refer to their income. Taking No. 1 pick Flag as an example, according to normal development, he can sign his first super maximum salary after the end of this rookie contract, which is expected to be 30% of the salary cap, and he can directly get a super maximum salary of 35% in the next contract. How exaggerated is this amount

? The rookie contract alone has reached 62 million in four years, with an average of about 15.5 million US dollars a year. For comparison, when James, Wade and Bosh formed the Heat Big Three, the annual salary of the three stars was almost the same. The first contract in five years will be even more exaggerated.

According to initial estimates by salary experts, Flag's first super maximum salary contract will be approximately US$359 million in five years. If nothing unexpected happens, such as injuries or parallel goods, the contract Flag received when he was 32 years old is expected to reach 509 million in five years. In other words, as long as he can play these seasons steadily, he will earn $930 million.

Please note that this is only salary income, and the additional advertising income is not included. Many fans may say that this is just "possible", what if Flag's water falls off? It should be noted that the situation here is just taking the No. 1 pick as an example. We must be clear that there are many future maximum-paid players in each NBA draft. In other words, Flag's fellow students also have the opportunity to get a similar contract.

For example, many of the stars who entered the league in 2020 and 2021 have signed super top salaries of more than 200 million in five years in advance. When they sign in to the next contract, it is likely to exceed 300 million. And when Flag and his group of stars have played in the league for more than ten years, there will probably be many players with contracts of more than US$500 million. If there is a chance, I hope Yang Hansen is among them too.

Let me say more, although the NBA's current constant complaints are getting worse and worse, its global influence, contracts signed by broadcasting platforms, including the team's salary cap or the players' salaries, are growing. You can say that Xiao Hua doesn’t love basketball, but on the road of capital, President Xiao really understands it.
