Missed 4 years 229 million! 345 million in 5 years! Doncic s chips are too difficult, the NBA is just a business
12:30am, 9 August 2025【Basketball】
NBA star salary has risen, but only a real super giant can get a super maximum salary contract. During this offseason, Alexander signed a four-year, super maximum salary contract of US$272 million, with an average annual salary of US$68.1 million. What does this mean? For comparison, the total salary of the Spurs, the champion of the 2013-14 season, is only US$63.5 million! Not only that, Alexander's salary in the 2029-30 season will reach 70.54 million US dollars, breaking through the 70 million US dollars mark, creating history; the salary in the 30-31 season will reach 75.41 million US dollars, breaking through the 75 million US dollars mark, continuing to create history. Alexander completed the scoring champion + MVP + Western Conference Finals MVP + Finals + Championship + FMVP Grand Slam in a single season. This super top salary contract is his due decency and respect. Among the same rookies in Alexander, Doncic missed the opportunity to sign a super maximum salary of US$345 million in five years due to being traded in the middle of last season. However, Doncic is one of the five NBA talents after all, so there is no need to worry about making money. Doncic signed a three-year, $165 million short-term contract with the Lakers. In this way, he is qualified to pursue a five-year, $418 million super maximum salary contract as a 10-year, veteran in the summer of 2028 to maximize his own interests. By then, Doncic is expected to become the first star in NBA history to have an annual salary of US$80 million with this new contract. Compared with Doncic, Trae Young, who became Doncic's bargaining chips at the draft that year, may not be so lucky.
Turn back to the 2018 draft, the Mavericks and the Hawks completed the big deal between Tanhualang Doncic and No. 5 pick Trae Yang, and the gear of fate turned. Doncic took one step at a time to get the scoring champion, and led the team to the finals. Even though the Mavericks sold it at a low price in an incredible way, the world has almost reached a consensus: the Los Angeles Lakers are more suitable for Doncic, and Doncic is also able to take over the torch from James and continue to write the glory of the rich. In contrast, Trae Young is also the hope of the Atlanta Hawks. He was selected as the All-Star 4 times, the Best Team 3 times, and led the team to touch the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals, winning the reputation of "Mayor of New York".
The just past season, Trae Young played 76 games, averaging 24.2 points + 3.1 rebounds + 11.6 assists + 1.2 steals, winning the regular season assist king. Trae Yang is a good double-athlete guard with a big heart and is willing to make wedding dresses for his teammates, but the upper limit of his team is obviously not as high as Doncic. This can also be seen from the Hawks' attitude towards Trae Yang in renewal. Trae Young's contract has two years and $94.97 million, with a salary of $46 million in the 25-26 season, and a player option worth $48.97 million in the 26-27 season. According to the labor-management agreement, Trae Young is eligible to sign a four-year, $229 million max salary with the Eagles from July 7. However, NBA famous reporter Mark pointed out incisively: The Hawks have not provided Trae Young with this early contract renewal contract, and he is very disappointed.
Trey Yang was not able to renew his 4-year, $229 million maximum salary contract in advance. He could also calm down and retreat like Doncic. In the words of NBA famous reporter Jake Fischer, if Trae Young fails to renew his contract this summer, he can reject the player option next summer and test the free market. Once he is selected for the best team in the new season, he will be qualified to sign a five-year, US$345 million super maximum salary contract. Ideals may be full, reality may be skinny. Trae Yang's difficulty in rushing to these three awards is more difficult than the other. If Trae Yang is really worth so much money, the Hawks might have sent this four-year, $229 million early contract renewal to their doorstep.
This is the most real NBA world. It is bustling for profit, and bustling for profit. It is ultimately a business, and everyone will clearly mark the price in this business! Even though Trae Young is a reliable defender who has proved himself, even if it is difficult for the Hawks to find a player who averages 20 points + 10 assists per game to draw a draw for Trae Young, they still have the initiative in renewing the contract. To take a step back, even if Trae Yang really dares to jump out of the contract to test the free market, who would be willing to use a super maximum salary of US$345 million in five years to bet on such a small defender with fatal shortcomings in height and defense? It has to be said that Doncic's chips are too difficult. Trae Yang must see the reality clearly. If he is determined not to sign for the maximum salary, he may become a textbook for "a heart that is higher than the sky and life is thinner than paper"!
