Gilgos Alexander tea and Oklahoma City Thunder They agreed to a four -year standard extension, $ 285 million would give him the highest average salary of one season in The American Professional League History, a person who has knowledge of the agreement said on Tuesday.
The person spoke to the Associated Press on the condition that his identity was not disclosed because the deal was not announced publicly and it is likely that it is not until the league stop is raised in most of the signatures on Sunday.
ESPN mentioned for the first time about the agreement.
The news of the deal comes on the day of Canada, and it is an appropriate coincidence for the 26 -year -old from Ontario who will come out of a season like a few others in the history of the American Professional League.
Not only did the Gilgeous -alexander lead to thunder to his first professional league championship and the best record in the league, so he won most of the main individual prizes-won the NBA season in the MVP finals and the registration title.
Supermax’s extension was not unexpected. It was a timing issue. He could have a deal with a higher total value next summer.
Based on the latest salary forecast in the American Professional League-the exact numbers will not be completed until June 2027-Gilgeous -alexander will make approximately $ 63 million in the first season and about 79 million dollars during the 2030-31 season. This would put it in an average return of about one million dollars per ordinary seasonal game, and it will be the highest salary of one season in the history of the American Professional League.
Gilgeous-alexander did not enter the star’s expectations. The eleventh general choice was in the 2018 draft, and was traded by Los Angeles Clippers to thunder after his emerging year. He has been on an upward path since then, and the general manager of Thunder Sam Presti believes that this will continue.
“It has improved every year,” said Bristi. “His mentality allowed him to take these steps and also no – I do not feel that he, like him, volatile. I don’t know if that is logical, but I do not feel that it is based on things that cannot be repeated and its building again.”
Presti referred to Gilgeous -alexander as “basketball artist” because he has emotional intelligence to know when he calls for his various talents.
“I think he was working in the left and right brain, and I think that when you think about very successful people about what they are doing, they cannot run everything on one side or another,” said Prestige. “People – for me, have great people in life, business, sports, and any industry, they should be able to reach both sides, the creative side, then a very objective aspect.”
Thunder is scheduled to be competitors for years. The best player in his place in the long run, and all their main players under the contract through the next season, and Presti contains a large number of options hidden from previous deals.
“We certainly have no room for growth,” said Gilgus Alcander after winning the seventh match over match 7. Indiana Basars. “This is the fun part of this. Many of us still improve. There is not many of us in the team” in our prime “or even near it.”
