Booker renews his contract, up to 2 years and $149.8 million? The Warriors are interested in the NBA s chaos

is in chaos, the entire NBA is in chaos.

First, Antetokounmpo's "flight" was cancelled. On the way to New York, the captain suddenly repented and decided to return to Milwaukee. The Bucks withdrew an Antetokounmpo, and the transaction negotiations were cancelled, and there will be further notice. Some time ago, O'Neal also warned Antetokounmpo: Don't go to Los Angeles, the taxes there are too high, and half of your contract will have to pay taxes, which is not worth the loss.

However, California Governor Newsom said: "Look at what you said, what does our state tax mean? After all, it is a big city, and it is normal to lead the tax. Besides, who has this tax fed back to?" In short, Antetokounmpo has made it clear that at this stage, he has no intention of submitting a transaction application this offseason and plans to continue to stay with the team. Therefore, the popularity of Antetokounmpo's team switching has gradually declined until it is freezing. In this case, the Bucks will definitely hope to reorganize the lineup to impress Antetokounmpo again to stay in Milwaukee. Under this situation, most people from the outside world believe that Antetokounmpo will stay in the team in the end. Staying in the Bucks means having to be one person and one city, and it also means the narrowing of the championship window, because teammate Lillard had a 35-year-old Achilles tendon ruptured and was about 37 when he returned to the field. In this case, it was unrealistic to continue to stay in the Bucks and want to win the championship. However, the word "staying in the team" means more salary. The NBA has formulated very generous contracts for stars who continue to stay in the parent team. For example, the Suns, who are stupid and have a lot of money next door, Durant wants to transfer, which makes the city turmoil. As Antetokounmpo gradually withdraws from the market, the Suns management is afraid that he will be crazy. In this case, although Booker, who stayed in the team, "applyed for a deal" in the emotional market, replaced Jenna in the frontcourt with a teammate in the backcourt. But he chose to stay in the team and received generous rewards. The Suns are planning to give him a huge contract. We can calculate how exaggerated it is. Famous reporter Marc Stein revealed that during this offseason, Booker will sign a two-year, $149.8 million early contract renewal with the Suns, and his annual salary is about $75 million! It's messy, this NBA is really messy!

75 million USD, salary for a season. You should know that after Booker completes his contract renewal, his annual salary is about equal to the total salary of an entire NBA team 20 years ago! The total salary of the three Heats was about 54 million US dollars in a year at that time, which was 20 million US dollars less than Booker alone. If the salary this year is placed in the bank for death, there will be about 10 million yuan in interest every year. Or maybe Booker’s salary is enough to buy a ton of gold. If he can’t play in the playoffs, it would be equivalent to making so much in half a year. The reason why Booker can get such a huge salary is that the salary space in the offseason surged in 2026, which is completely incomparable to more than ten years ago. In order to retain the core to win the championship, each team began to spend money regardless of consequences, not only the Suns, but also the Warriors.

When Antetokounmpo may stay in the team and Durant has no hope of returning to Golden State, the Warriors changed their targets again. The Warriors' current center Looney is somewhat inconsistent with the pace of the current game, so they are always looking for a big player who can open up the space. So. Porzingis meets their requirements. As for the Celtics, the total salary plus luxury tax in the new season exceeds $500 million, and it is unrealistic to retain the roster this season, so selling Porzingis is also in line with their needs. However, Porzingis's contract is a bit large, with an annual salary of US$30.73 million. The good news is that there is still one year left in the contract. If the Warriors choose Stud, even if the final effect is not good, they can just clean up the space in the 2026 offseason. After all, according to the Warriors, they also want to leave Kuminga...
