38 million in 4 years! The No. 60 Show No. 1 Biggest Contract! Sorry Thomas, you were surpassed
4:27pm, 30 June 2025【Basketball】
Let me ask, who is the strongest second round No. 60 pick in NBA history? I believe that the answer of most people will be: Thomas little! It is no exaggeration to say that Thomas Jr. is definitely the most watched No. 60 show so far, and he should also be the strongest No. 60 show.
As we all know, at the peak of Thomas's career, he was the last quarter king of the league at that time, and he also entered the top three regular season MVPs! Thomas, who was full of energy back then, was a capable player under the famous coach Stevens, and all the Celtic tactics revolved around him. Therefore, Thomas Jr. is named "The Strongest 175 on the Surface"!
When it is extremely regrettable, when Thomas Jr. was the most popular, he made the worst decision in his career. In 2017, Thomas Jr. refused the four-year, $70 million contract renewal provided by the Celtics without hesitation. Thomas Jr. mistakenly estimated his appeal in the signing market at that time, and he believed that he could easily get a contract of RMB 100 million in the free market. Then, the biggest joke that Thomas Jr. was ridiculed in his career was born. He once said that there would be many general managers of the league teams who would drive a large truck full of dollars to talk to him about signing. But what he never expected was that no team in the free market was willing to offer contract quotes higher than the Celtics, and he also had a career Waterloo.
Everyone knows what happened later. Rejecting the Celtics' four-year, 70 million contract extension became a major turning point in Thomas's career! Thomas, who was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, fell sharply after experiencing injuries, and he instantly gradually became a marginalist from a top star in the league. Gradually, Thomas Jr. disappeared from the league! In this way, Thomas, who was expected to earn hundreds of millions of dollars in his entire career, made only $32.69 million in his entire NBA career.
Although Thomas Jr. refused the Celtics' four-year contract extension, his total salary throughout his career was greatly reduced! But he still dominated the league's No. 60-profit show list for a long time. It was not until a man named Sam Merrill appeared that Thomas Jr.'s title of No. 60-profit show title of No. 60-profit show was snatched away by him! On June 29, ESPN reporter Shams reported that league sources revealed that the Cleveland Cavaliers will sign a four-year, $38 million new contract with full free agent Sam Merrill. According to statistics, Merrill has earned 7.68 million in his career so far. After signing this four-year, 38 million contract, his total salary in his career will reach 45.68 million US dollars, which will make him the most profitable No. 60 show in the league history. At this point, I'm afraid I can only say sorry to Thomas Jr., because from now on, Merrill will be the No. 60th show in history, and your career salary of 32.69 million will be ranked second! In addition, the late star Drazen Peterlovic ranked third in his career 4.19 million, while the Lakers' former player Thackeray ranked fourth in fourth.
Although Merrill is not the best second round No. 60 pick in league history, he is now lucky to sign the largest contract in the history of the second round No. 60 pick in four years and 38 million, which is really amazing! However, this has to be thanks to Thomas Jr. for rejecting the Celtics' four-year, 70 million contract renewal. Otherwise, Merrill would never have been the No. 60 pick in the second round that made the most money in NBA history!
