Thunder Sign Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to NBA Record Deal

News summary

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has agreed to a four-year, $285 million supermax contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder, marking the richest annual contract in NBA history. The agreement follows a season in which Gilgeous-Alexander led the NBA in scoring, won both regular season and Finals MVP honors, and guided the Thunder to their first NBA championship since relocating to Oklahoma City. Including this extension, his total projected earnings with the Thunder reach $364 million. Gilgeous-Alexander, acquired in the blockbuster Paul George trade, has become the face of the franchise. The Thunder could face luxury tax challenges as young stars Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren become eligible for major contract extensions. The deal underscores the mutual commitment between Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder as they aim for sustained success.
