It s another year of contract renewal, three new stars are expected to receive maximum salary, and two of them are produced by Thunder show the sarcastic vision of General Manager

In the offseason every year, it is the time when all teams in the league renew their contracts most frequently. At this time, it is also a big highlight for young players who can get huge contracts. Just like last year's players such as Cunningham, Wagner Jr., Barnes, Mobley, etc., when they were qualified to renew their contracts in advance, they received a five-year contract worth over US$200 million. This year, if nothing unexpected happens, the maximum salary will not be as high as last year, but there are three players who are very qualified to get it.

First of all, Bancero, the core of the Magic team. As the No. 1 pick in 2022, Bancero has quickly become the leader of this team since he entered the Magic. He was able to deliver an excellent report card of 20 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists in his first season. After three seasons of training, Bencello has successfully brought the Magic into the playoffs.

In the playoffs, he also successfully proved himself, and he averaged 29.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists per game, convinced everyone. In the offseason this season, after the Magic settled Bain's deal, the team's management had already spoken out that they would start renewing the contract with Bancero as soon as possible. What both sides need to determine may be when Bancero signed the five-year, $247 million contract.

Looking back, I have to sigh at the Magic's courage. In the absence of trial training in 22 years, they finally took the No. 1 pick and left the previous No. 1 pick to the Rockets. Otherwise, the Rockets, which have Banchero, Shinkyung and Amen, may have successfully broken through the Warriors' blockade this year.

And the second player who basically confirmed the maximum salary contract is Jaylen Williams, the second in command of the Thunder. As a sophomore, Jayway quickly gained a foothold in the Thunder with his comprehensive skills, and has now become the strongest support around Alexander. Currently, the Thunder leads the Pacers 3-2 in the finals, and Jewish is likely to achieve a championship achievement this year.

Although Jaylen Williams has always been behind Alexander in the Thunder, Jayway, who has been one step a year, has unlocked the All-Star, the third team of the All-Series, and the second team of the best defensive team this year. Even in the more intense playoffs, Jayway still averages 21.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

If he can help the Thunder win the championship successfully, a five-year, $247 million contract is almost a foregone conclusion. The Thunder will definitely not allow Harden's tragedy to happen again.

The third player who is likely to receive a maximum salary renewal is Josh Gidey of the Bulls. As a potential rookie with the 6th pick in the first round in 21st, Gidey, who plays as a defender at 2.03 meters, has been illuminated since entering the league. After improving his shooting ability this season, Gidey has become another "triple-double machine" in the league.

Especially when the regular season ended soon, Gidey won four triple-doubles in the last 9 games. Previously, the Bulls reporters had already revealed that the first player the team wanted to consider when it comes to renewing contracts between Gidey and Kobe White was Gidey. His contract renewal amount may be smaller than that of Bancello and Jay Westbrook, but a five-year, $200 million contract is entirely possible.

Looking at the three players who are expected to get a maximum salary this year, we have to sigh at the long-term vision of Thunder General Manager Presti. After the disbandment of the combination of Harden, Durant and Westbrook, the team has been dormant for 13 years, hoarding a large number of draft picks, and finally stood on the finals stage again. And Jewe and Gidey are all rookies chosen by the Thunder. In addition, there are powerful players like Chett and Carson Wallace in the team, and even Topic, who has been on the bench for 24 years, has 12th overall pick.

In the future, the Thunder still has abundant talent resources, which will continuously deliver fresh blood to them. If this continues, perhaps starting this year, the Thunder will open a new era of its own history. Do you think the above three players will receive maximum salary contracts this summer?
