That is insane amount of money.

Remember years ago when Mike Conley was briefly the highest paid player in NBA history? LOL

He gets paid 71 mil a year but probably is worth 5x that to OKC's bottom line

Well deserved as he’s arguably the best player in the game and easily the greatest in franchise history, not even hitting his prime.

Very cheap compared to Ronaldo.

SGA got paid.. why the rush though? He still has 2 years on his contract

Crazy amount of money...

So Luka extension will be smaller then this after his trade.
So who will get more then SGA after signing supermax?

Might as well start putting together statue design ideas. Locked up for the next six seasons. Maybe the NBA will finally give OKC some regular season national TV games again.

Booker is going to sign for 2 years / $150 million I think. Higher AAV at least. Not sure about total contract

They actually got him at a discount. If they had waited to resign until next year alone SGA would have qualified for the full supermax which is 5 years, $380 million.

Safe to say he'll be able to make ends meet from now on.

He is worth it. He is still improving each season.

Waiting till next summer could have gotten him 5 years but if he ends up with a player option which I expect, this lets him opt out when he's still 31/32 to potentially sign another massive extension.
