The Thunder may have eight core players leaving the team in the next three years! For the 720 million Big Three, give up all the puzzles for the championship

On July 10, after experiencing the disintegration of the third young masters of Harden, Durant and Westbrook, the Thunder is now really not stingy in spending money, giving Alexander 285 million in four years, and then giving Chet another 250 million in five years.

Later, when Jaylen Williams renewed his contract, they could also issue Jaylenway a 5-year, super maximum salary contract of 287 million yuan, comparable to Ban Kairo. In other words, the contracts of these three people will total 720 million in the future, and their annual salary will even exceed 170 million in the year.

This is a very terrifying number. Can the Thunder compete for the championship after opening such a contract? There is basically no chance, and now they are ready to become a team of 3-on-5.

First of all, the Thunder will maintain the core lineup in the future. This is a fact, but there is still a very cruel point next, and their core lineup will be completely lost one after another. The Thunder can still withstand the moment next season, but by 2027, the Thunder will definitely not be able to withstand it. By then, Alexander would have a salary of 40.81 million, Chet would have a salary of 42.12 million, Jaylenway would have a salary of 42.12 million, and the three would have a salary of 125 million. They also have big contract players such as Isaiah Joe, Wiggins, Jaylin Williams, and Caruso.

In addition, Haltenstein and Dort are also very large contracts, one is 28.5 million and the other is 17.7 million. It is certain that they are abandoned, so by this year, they will begin to lose the core of the two championships. There will only be one year left for this championship lineup in the future.

And this will only be the beginning of the collapse of the Thunder Legion. In the next season, Alexander's new contract with an annual salary of 70 million will take effect. He will have to get a salary of 65 million. Chet and Jaylenway will both be around 45 million, which will total 155 million. The contracts of Jerin Williams, Isaiahjo and Topich are likely to be abandoned because their salary is too high. Jerin Williams is 7.7 million, Isaiahjo 11 million, and Topich 7.4 million. Only these are probably not guaranteed.

In the future, Caruso's contract is difficult to keep, and Wiggins is the same. The Thunder's core lineup that won the championship this year may only be left for one year, and then at least 8 to 10 people will be left in three years. In the end, the Thunder will have three super top-paid players who will play with others with a group of rookies, and they can only rely on the dividend period of rookie contracts to maintain the competitiveness of the lineup.

So if nothing unexpected happens, the signing of this contract means that the Thunder only has one chance, that is, continue to win the championship next season. As long as you can't win the championship, the Thunder will have no chance. They are now in a state of fighting against each other, they must succeed, not fail, and do not win two consecutive championships, so there may be only one championship in the future.
