2 years and 145 million, Booker breaks NBA salary record! Green Dillon joins the team with 14+3 new roster

2025-07-11

According to ESPN reporter Shams, the Suns and Booker reached an early contract extension worth 145 million US dollars for 2 years.

Shams pointed out in a follow-up report that after trading Durant and planning to buy out Bill, Suns owner Matt Ishbia met with Booker in Las Vegas and the two sides finalized this agreement.

Matt Ishbia firmly believes that Booker will be the future of the Suns, and the team will rebuild the lineup around Booker. Before the renewal, Booker's contract will last until 2028, and after the renewal, it will last for 30 years.

This contract not only allows Booker to continue to be loyal and have a perfect career in one city, but also allows Booker to break the NBA historical record created by Alexander 8 days ago with this new contract.

Booker's average salary in this new contract reached an exaggerated $72.5 million, higher than Alexander's previous average salary of $71.5 million (4 years and $287 million), setting a new record for the highest average salary in NBA history.

ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks also followed up to explain Booker's remaining contract status, pointing out that after completing the contract extension, his contract has a total of 5 years and $316 million left.

Among them, the original remaining contract was worth $171 million for 3 years, 53.14 million in the 25-26 season, 57.08 million in the 26-27 season, and 61.02 million in the 27-28 season.

The new contract is worth $145 million for 2 years, 69.88 million in the 28-29 season, and 75.46 million in the 29-30 season. The last year of 29-30, $75.46 million, is currently ranked third in the history of a single season, and the top two belong to Alexander (76.19 million in the 29-30 season and 79 million in the 30-31 season).

Converted to each game, even if Booker played 164 games in the last two years, Booker would earn $880,000 per game. In comparison, the combined salary of the two WCBA stars Clark and Reese in the 25 seasons was $152,975.

American reporter Daman Rangoola also wrote an article expressing his feelings about the rapid increase in NBA salaries. In the 15-16 season, the NBA salary cap was only $70 million, and 10 years later, Booker earned more than $75 million in a single season.

One can only sigh at the gap in the times. Nash, also a superstar of the Suns, only earned $147 million in his entire career, while Booker's two-year contract reached $145 million.

With this contract, Booker's career salary has also reached $534 million, second only to Curry's $536 million and James' $584 million.

You should know that Booker is much younger than James, Curry and other players. According to the follow-up calculation by Evan Sidery, NBA reporter of Forbes Sports, based on Booker's current income, his total salary income will exceed 700 million US dollars when he retires, and this does not include income from off-court endorsements.

Two new players are in place and the 14+3 list is released

At the same time that Booker officially announced the signing of a big contract, two new players, Jalen Green and Dillon, also arrived at the team one after another. With the joining of the two, the Suns' new 14+3 list for the new season is released.

Potential starters:

Jalen Green, Booker, Dillon, Dunn and Ma Wei.

9 substitutes: Allen, Royce O'Neale, Maluaki, Richards, Gillespie, Iguodaro, Livers, Hayes Davis and Beal (to be bought out);

3 two-way: Huntley, Fleming and Brea.

Although the Suns have Booker + Jalen Green, who both average 20+ points per game, making them one of the only five backcourt pairs in the league, the Suns' current lineup depth is also worrying in the highly competitive Western Conference.

In addition, the Suns have limited draft assets. Unless they continue to deliver magical operations, it will be difficult for this Suns to compete for the championship, or even stay in the playoffs.
