The Oklahoma City Thunder signed Chet Holmgren for 5 years and 250 million dollars max.
It's really unbelievable money. I still don't understand how they pay these money to these players. I don't think he deserves this contract.
Let's see how long we will see such big contracts.

I understand your issue and feel the same. There's also a report that Jalen Williams might have received a good contract extension offer from the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's just clear that OKC wants to lock in their championship core lineup and instead of looking for players on the free agency or accepting proposed trade offers, they want to stick with their core championship lineup next season.

I think that will be the best option for them, to lock in their core. But we all know that sooner or later it might give them a problem as their luxury tax as over the roof. So sooner or later it's either one of them will have a pay cut or will be completely trade if their next season will be very bad for them. And maybe history repeats itself, KD and Russ and then James Harden in OKC before. Although they didn't win a ring, but it could have been close if they stayed together. But then again, Harden has a break out year and so they can't make him a offer because of the luxury ceiling. But for Chet, yeah, his young career has taken off because he was in good team as compare to Wemby and he is improving so for now let's say he deserved that kind of money.
