With an average of 31.4 points (top of the league), 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 2 steals, and 1.1 blocks, a shooting percentage of 52.2%, Alexander is undoubtedly the top guard in the league today, and it's time to create his own history.
Salary expert Marks stated that Alexander's current contract will expire in 27 years, and he is eligible to sign a four-year contract with the Thunder this summer. Moreover, due to being selected for the best lineup in both 23 and 24, he can sign a super max contract; if he agrees to renew this summer, he could receive a contract worth up to 294millionoverfouryears,withanannualsalaryof81.45 million in the final season (30-31), making him the first player in NBA history to earn over $80 million per year.
Wow, it seems that in the future, the NBA will develop to the point where a player's annual salary will be equivalent to several years of contracts for current players, as if money were no object.
No more pretending, I'm laying my cards on the table: Venom has been the MVP of Village BA for twenty consecutive years, and from now on, I'm taking big steps into the NBA, not for the dollars or blonde girls, but simply to bring glory to my country.
If Alexander is confident in himself, he can also choose to sign a pre-renewal contract with the Thunder next summer, at which time the term can reach five years, and the salary will be even higher.
Whether it's this year or next, the Thunder will definitely spare no effort to show their highest sincerity in renewing with Alexander, leaving no room for others to poach him. So we can already congratulate this Canadian guy in advance for securing a super max contract.
To be fair, Alexander owes his current success to George, who brought him to the Thunder.
In the summer of 19, the NBA completed a blockbuster trade. That year, the Clippers, in order to get George, bundled Alexander, Gallinari, four unprotected first-round picks, one lottery-protected first-round pick, and two first-round pick swaps to the Thunder.
Combining Alexander's luxurious personal statistics with the Thunder's record of 32 wins and 6 losses, currently topping the Western Conference, it seems that the Most Valuable Player award is almost certain if they maintain this performance. He is currently ranked first in the MVP list, surpassing superstars like Jokic and Antetokounmpo.
What's going on with American native players? The top four in the MVP list are all international players, with Wembanyama in fourth place, and it's only when you get to fifth place that you see Tatum.
Wait, in just his sophomore season, Wembanyama has managed to rank fourth in the MVP list.
This guy feels even scarier than Alexander, averaging 25.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 4 blocks so far this season, with the Spurs temporarily ranking 12th in the West with 18 wins and 19 losses.
Back to the main topic, in addition to the MVP, Alexander has a good chance to challenge for the FMVP this season if his ambition is big enough. The Thunder is the clear leader in the West, ahead of all other teams, and has every right to shout the championship slogan.
However, last season serves as a cautionary tale. That season, the Thunder also had the best regular-season record in the West, but they were eliminated in six games in the second round of the playoffs last year. However, they lost to the team that made it to the finals that year, the Mavericks, which isn't exactly something to be ashamed of.
In short, the only things that can stop the Thunder from reaching the top now are "youth" and injury issues.
Especially injuries, as the core inside player Chet has been out due to a fracture in his right ilium and has only played 10 games this season, averaging 16.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2.6 blocks.
What do you think, folks? How far do you think the Thunder can go this season? Grab your keyboards in the comment section and let's hear your thoughts!
