Only $50,000 more! The Suns gave the largest contract, Booker became the most expensive player in history

The NBA has been making a series of heavy contract renewals today, and the Phoenix Suns' contract renewal Booker is one of them.

It is reported that Booker has completed negotiations for renewal with the Suns and is expected to sign the most expensive contract in history, worth $145 million in two years. This contract is indeed very powerful. Booker can be said to have just beaten Alexander.

Booker's current contract is still 3 years and 171 million US dollars, but the Suns can't wait to complete the contract renewal with Booker because it is a little cheaper to renew the contract. If the NBA's salary cap increases 2 years later or 3 years later, Booker can get more money by then, so it's better to give it to you directly.

Book's current contract has an average annual salary of less than $60 million, but in his new contract that he renewed early, he can get $69.88 million in the 2028-29 season and $75.46 million in the 2029-30 season. In this way, Booker's annual contract salary in the last year just exceeded Alexander's $75.41 million, only $50,000 more, just becoming the most expensive player in NBA history so far.

10 years ago, in 2015, the NBA team's salary cap was only $70 million. Now Booker's annual salary in a season is close to $76 million, which is higher than the salary cap of an entire NBA team 10 years ago. I have to say that this time changes too quickly.

Signing such a contract with Booker, the Suns are determined to build a team around Booker. They have tried many people before, such as Paul, Durant, Bill, and Ayton, but they have not successfully won the championship. Now that Booker is still here, what will the Suns try?
