Wemby took the same 25% that Chet signed for last off season. Chet would have gotten the full 30% had he signed it since he made All defensive team. Wemby would have still needed to play in 65 games next year to qualify for that 30% If Ant doesn't play in 65 games this coming season he won't be eligible to sign a supermax next summer.TheGrey08 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2026 5:54 pmhttps://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/2075 ... 17655?s=20Shams Charania
BREAKING: San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama has signed a five-year, $252 million maximum rookie-scale contract extension, with a player option in the fifth season, sources tell ESPN.
Shams Charania
Wembanyama decided on the 25% maximum instead of the 30% supermax escalators to $303M, after he and the Spurs went through multiple frameworks. A major decision for the All-NBA star and Defensive Player of the Year entering his fourth season.
San Antonio worked in close partnership with Wembanyama and his representatives, offering the full super max and different variations of extensions. But Wembanyama ultimately chose a contract sacrifice rooted in giving him and the organization increased ability to build a sustained title contender around him.
And so it begins. (Unless I'm forgetting someone else) The era of Superstars deciding if max money or a better chance to win is more important. Brunson started it & won and now he's no longer the one outlier as Wemby continues it. It'll be interesting to see what Ant does with his next extension.
