5 years of US$862 million! Thunder retains the Big Three and is willing to spend money if you win the championship!

The NBA has explosive news today, and the Oklahoma City Thunder spent a lot of money to retain their Big Three in the championship.

In this year's NBA Finals, the Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers and won the first NBA championship in team history. In this way, the Thunder are finally willing to spend a lot of money to retain their core players. A while ago, Alexander had signed a four-year, $285 million early contract renewal.

This is Alexander's friendly price, because he could have renewed his contract next summer and could get $380 million for five years. Now he is equivalent to getting $5 million less every year to save money from the Thunder. Including the $40 million in the last year of the existing contract, Alexander will receive $325 million in the next five years.

And today, the Thunder announced that they would renew Homgren with a five-year $250 million contract to retain this tall second-tier show. In addition, the Thunder are also discussing a contract renewal with Jaylen Williams, who can get up to $287 million in five years.

In other words, Alexander, Jaylen Williams and Homgren combined will receive $862 million in the next five years, which is a very large sum of money. However, there is no need to worry for the Thunder, because after they won the championship, the team's valuation has quickly increased to US$4 billion. If the team boss directly cashes out at a high level and sells the team, he can make a lot of money. The last team gave a large number of big contracts after winning the championship and immediately sold the team, the former boss of the Boston Celtics.

Durant, Westbrook and Harden failed to win the championship smoothly that year, and the Thunder were unwilling to spend a lot of money, so they let Harden go. Now that the new three giants have won the championship, the Thunder are willing to give money.
