350 million in 5 years! Trae Yang is crazy! Asking for a super maximum salary

Basketball

On August 11, according to NBA famous reporter Jake Fischer, the Hawks have given up renewing their contract with Trae Young this summer. Although Trae Young's team is very disappointed, they can only accept this reality. Previously, the Lakers renewed Doncic for 165 million in three years, and the Spurs renewed Fox for 229 million in four years, and Trae Young thought that they could also renew their contract with the Hawks in advance.

Since July 7 this year, Trae Young is eligible to renew his contract with the Hawks in advance, and can sign up to 4 years and $229 million, the same as the contract the Spurs have given to Fox. More than a month has passed, and the Eagles have not started negotiations on renewal with Trae Yang at all. Not only did the fans not expect that Trae Young himself did not expect that he would apply for a deal?

Jake Fischer said Trae Young will not apply for a deal, but hopes to wait until next summer to sign a bigger contract extension with the Eagles. If Trae Young is selected into the NBA's best team next season, even in the third team. By the summer of 2026, he can sign a five-year, $350 million super maximum salary contract with the Eagles! Trae Young's existing contract is $207 million for five years, expires in the summer of 2027, and the 2026-27 season is a player option worth $49 million. By the summer of 2026, if the Eagles cannot give Trae Young a satisfactory contract, he will try the free market! The Eagle doesn’t want to give him 229 million for four years, so how could it give him 350 million for five years?

Trey Young was born on September 19, 1998, and is 1.85 meters tall. He is the No. 5 pick in the 2018 first round. In the 2024-25 season, Trae Young played 76 regular season games with the Hawks, averaging 36 minutes per game, scoring 24.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 11.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 4.7 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 41.1%, 34%, 87.5%.

When Trae Young defended, his opponent's shooting percentage rose from 45.1% to 48.3%. The Hawks missed the playoffs for two consecutive years, fired general manager Landry Fields this offseason and hired Onsey Saleh as general manager of the Hawks. Once the emperor was in office, Saleh never expressed his intention to focus on Trae Yang Jian's team, and he even avoided discussing the issue of renewal.

Do you think Trae Young will leave the Eagles? What will his next contract be?
