Top 10 stars who are eligible to renew their contract this summer: Doncic has 165 million in three years, and many of them have become 70 million gentlemen

The free market this summer can be said to have changed history. Many stars are qualified to renew their contracts in advance. If it weren't for the NBA's previous modification of the renewal terms, more players would have tried the free market and signed larger contracts. Since the 22-year offseason, 65 veterans have completed early renewals, and more than 100 players are eligible for renewals this year. Let’s take a look at these 10 major stars (sorted by the start date of renewal).

1.Shay Gilgers Alexander (Thunder)

Alexander was qualified to renew his contract with a super maximum salary last year, but he did not play for 7 years in his career before waiting for this season. This year, there is a chance to sign a four-year contract of US$293.4 million, with an average salary of 73.3 million, which will set a record high. After winning the MVP this season, if you renew your contract in the 2026 offseason, you can add your fifth-year contract and an additional $86 million, and the total amount can reach $379 million, but the probability is still very low. Alexander is about to become the 14th player in NBA history to sign a super maximum salary contract.

2. Kyrie Irving (Mavericks)

Irving, who is over 33 years old, is currently recovering from a serious knee injury. If Irving chooses to execute a $43 million player option before June 24, he can negotiate a four-year, $267 million contract extension with the Mavericks. However, Davis will also have a contract in the next three years. It is difficult for the Mavericks to give Irving a contract with a starting salary of $59 million for more than two years. Breaking out of the contract and signing a new contract is the most likely thing to happen.

3. Nikola Jokic (Nuggets)

Jokic has signed a super maximum salary of US$276 million for five years and has been less than three years, but now it is eligible to renew US$212 million for three years. However, Jokic may not renew his contract with the Nuggets now. The team's lineup is insufficient and it must make up for this shortcoming, otherwise it will be difficult for the team to win the championship again. Jokic is likely to put pressure on the Nuggets to make a decision before the renewal deadline, but being patient can earn an extra $81 million by renewal next year.

4. Austin Reeves (Lakes)

Reeves and the Lakers will definitely be in a deadlock. After all, the 4-year $53.8 million signed in 23 years is a bargain price, which is very cost-effective for the Lakers. However, Reeves will most likely test the free market in 2026. The Lakers have no way to keep Xiaoli, and can only provide an early renewal of $89.2 million in four years, but this is definitely unrealistic. Reeves is likely to give up renewing his contract, reject the player option for next season, and then re-sign a richer contract with the Lakers as a free agent.

5. Ja Morant (Grizzlies)

Morant and the Grizzlies signed a five-year and 197 million contract in 22 years, but the former has only played 120 games in the past three seasons. There are certain risks in renewing his contract with him and are eligible to renew his contract for 2 years and US$128.4 million. The contradiction is that the Grizzlies regard Morant as the core of the team building for many years in the future, but do not want to spend money in advance for players who cannot play stably, so the Grizzlies are more likely to watch Morant's status in the new season and then start negotiating a contract renewal next year.

6. Zion Williamson (Pelicans)

The Pelicans are unlikely to provide Zion with contract renewal. They have not played in the playoffs so far in 2019, and they have played less than 50% of the regular season games, and they have played more than 30 games in just two seasons. If they sign a two-year contract renewal of 128.4 million yuan, the Pelicans will lose the initiative. Not only will the $39.4 million next season be converted to full protection, but the non-guaranteed salary in the next two seasons will also be fully guaranteed. Zion is expected to become a free agent in 28 years.

7. Carl Anthony Towns (Knicks)

Downs, who transferred to the Knicks this season, maintained his best-ranked performance, tied with Jokic to become a player in the league with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 40% of the three-pointer. However, the renewal of the Knicks and Towns is quite complicated. The salary of the three in the future will exceed 50 million. If the contract is renewed for 2 years and 150 million, the Knicks will pay Towns an annual salary of 75 million. The team considers that Brunson may break out of the contract, so it is unlikely to offer a huge long-term contract for Towns.

8. Devin Booker (Suns)

Booker has the strongest bargaining chips. The Suns boss also publicly promised that it is impossible to trade Booker. Booker has averaged 25+ games for eight consecutive seasons and has a shooting percentage of more than 45%. He has signed a super maximum salary of 220 million in 222 years for three years, but this year he is eligible to renew 150 million for two years, and an annual salary of 75 million will also create history. In addition, the Suns will build a team around Booker, so this contract renewal may not be eliminated.

9. Kevin Durant (Suns)

If Antetokounmpo chooses to stay in the team, Durant will become the biggest focus this summer. Durant, who is about to turn 37, has only one year left in the current contract. Durant is eligible to sign a two-year, 124 million contract with the Suns, but it is basically impossible. If it is traded, Durant can sign a 111 million contract with his new owner, or sign a 2-year, 124 million contract after half a year of transaction. You can also refer to the breakup model of Butler and the Heat, renew the contract first and then be traded..

10. Luka Doncic (Lakes)

Doncic can reach a three-year, 160 million contract extension with the Lakers after the finals, but if you want to sign a maximum of 4 years, 229 million, you can only wait until after August 2. However, these two plans will make less money for Doncic. If you want to make up for the losses of the Mavericks' transaction, Doncic can sign a three-year, 165 million short-term contract with the team with a third-year, player option, allowing Doncic to return to the free market earlier.
