5 years of US$321 million! The best contract in NBA history will be born, and Durant finally makes a decision!

On June 11, a series of major news from the NBA Suns rushed like a tide, shocking the entire basketball world. According to an authoritative report by Stein, a well-known NBA reporter, starting from July 7, Suns star Booker will be eligible to sign a two-year contract renewal with a total value of up to $149.8 million. Once the two sides reach an agreement, Booker's contract will be extended to the end of the 2030 season, covering the next five seasons, with a total amount of astonishingly reaching US$321 million.

This signing not only marks another peak in Booker's career, but also will write two new chapters in NBA history. First, Booker's annual salary in the 2029-30 season will reach an astonishing $75 million, a figure that will undoubtedly set a record for the highest annual salary in the NBA. Secondly, Booker's total contract amount in the next five years will surpass Tatum's five-year, $315 million contract, becoming the most expensive contract in NBA history, demonstrating his unshakable superstar status.

Book, who was only 29 years old, chose to renew his contract with the Suns during the offseason, undoubtedly dedicating all the golden years of his career to Phoenix. Under his leadership, the Suns once entered the finals. Although they failed to win the championship, their efforts and efforts have won the respect and love of countless fans. Suns new coach Jordan Ott solemnly announced at the press conference that Booker will continue to be the core of the team building. He is at the peak of his career and is ready to face new challenges. As a coach, Ott said he would do his best to help Booker realize his basketball dream, which is also his duty as a coach.

Looking back at the 2024-25 season, Booker proved that he is a top scorer in the league with an outstanding performance of 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game. However, compared with historical outside superstars such as Jordan, Kobe, and James, Booker has a richer contract. This is undoubtedly the best affirmation of his strength and value. Judging from the current situation, Booker's contract renewal of the Suns is a foregone conclusion, and the Suns will continue to build a team around him. Even if he cannot compete for the championship immediately, it can ensure that the team is always among the competitors.

However, Suns owner Matt Ishbiya faces tremendous pressure and challenges. This season, the Suns' luxury tax has exceeded $150 million, but unfortunately missed the playoffs. This undoubtedly made Ishbiya heartbroken. To make matters worse, the Suns also plan to send Durant away on the eve of the draft. According to Sam Amico, a well-known HoopsWire reporter, Durant hopes to be traded to the Spurs, and the deal is expected to be settled in the next two weeks. Once Durant joins the Spurs and forms the new Big Three with Vampan Yama and Fox, they will have the strength to shock the entire NBA league. After the news of the

Durant's transaction came out, it quickly topped the second place in the domestic hot search list and became the focus of fans' attention. Durant, at the end of his career, still has the dream of competing for the championship. Although the Rockets were once regarded as the more ideal next home, Rockets head coach Uduka was not interested in Durant. At the same time, Wenban Yama was conducting a visit to China. He shaved his head and went into seclusion for ten days at Shaolin Temple, and experienced a unique oriental culture. I don't know if he is also paying attention to Durant's transaction progress. If Durant really went to San Antonio to play, then Vinban Yama might be able to quickly lead the team to the championship like Duncan back then.

Looking forward to the Western Conference next season, the competition will be even more intense. The Spurs are expected to rise completely and become a force that cannot be ignored. Popular teams such as the Thunder, Nuggets, Clippers, and Lakers still maintain strong competitiveness. In addition, playoff-level strong teams such as the Rockets, Grizzlies, and Mavericks will also compete fiercely for the playoff spot. One wonderful game after another is about to be staged, let us look forward to it together!
