54.38 million US dollars in 3 years! 119 million US dollars in 3 years! The Mavericks are in double happiness, and the three top scorers are in the championship

The Dallas Mavericks have had a mixed season, with no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers! When the big deal of Luca from Davis was completed, the Mavericks seemed to have exhausted their energy and destroyed their future. They were indeed troubled by injuries, with only 39 wins and 43 losses and missed the playoffs. When the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% chance, the whole world suddenly realized that they were the real "sons of God". As the NBA draft approaches, it is a foregone conclusion that the Mavericks use the No. 1 pick to bring Flagg's talent to Dallas. At the same time, the Mavericks were in double happiness and quietly completed two contracts!

The Mavericks' first good news, Gafford renewed 3-year, $54.38 million

Just yesterday, NBA famous reporter Stein reported that Gafford signed a three-year, $54.38 million contract with the Mavericks. Subsequently, US media followed up and reported the details of Gafford's early contract renewal, as follows: Gafford's new contract will take effect from the 2026-27 season, with a starting salary of US$17.26 million, a salary of US$18.13 million in the 27-28 season, and a salary of US$18.99 million in the 28-29 season. At the same time, this contract contains 5% of the transaction margin. This season, Gafford played 57 games for the Mavericks, averaging 12.3 points + 6.8 rebounds + 1.4 assists + 1.8 blocks. This contract is the Mavericks' recognition of Gafford, and it also makes many teams such as the Lakers who are eager to pursue Gafford temporarily lose their hearts.

NBA salary expert Yossi pointed out incisively that Gafford's salary in the 25-26 season was US$14.39 million. According to the amount of early renewal, the starting salary for the new contract is up to 120% of the 25-26 season, and then it will increase by up to 5% each year. That is to say, the maximum early renewal contract is US$54.38 million for 3 years. According to the NBA's labor and capital agreement rules, if Gafford's contract exceeds 3 years and 54.38 million US dollars, it will trigger the trading freezing period, and Gafford cannot be traded within 6 months. In short, this is the largest contract the Mavericks can provide to Gafford without triggering the freezing period of the transaction. Of course, the Mavericks insider revealed that this does not mean that Gafford can be traded at any time. Although a large number of teams are interested in Gafford, the Mavericks are unwilling to give up Gafford. Considering Lefly's injury, they regard Gafford as another pole in the team's inside line.

The Mavericks were the second best. After Irving renewed the contract of 119 million US dollars for three years, the Mavericks completed the early renewal with Irving at a lightning speed. According to NBA famous reporter Shams, sources revealed that Irving refused to execute the player option worth $43 million in the last year and signed a three-year, $119 million contract with the Mavericks, which includes player options for the 2027-28 season. Irving was reimbursed in advance for the season due to a torn ACL in the left knee. This season, Irving played 50 games for the Mavericks, averaging 36 minutes per game, and averaged 24.7 points + 4.8 rebounds + 4.6 assists + 1.3 steals + 2.9 three-pointers. His three shooting percentages were 47.3%, 40.1% and 91.6% respectively. Especially after Luca left the team, the Mavericks lacked talent in the backcourt, and Irving, a champion defender with both strength and experience, is priceless.

According to the calculations of NBA salary experts, Irving could have signed a five-year, $314 million maximum salary contract with the Mavericks when he refused the player option, but he finally decided to cut his salary significantly, sacrificing himself, but he was able to help the Mavericks. In the words of fans, in this era when the average salary of superstars has exceeded 70 million US dollars, Irving, whose average salary is less than 40 million US dollars, is so Buddhist and so delicious. At the same time, after Irving jumped out of the player option and cut the salary and renewed the contract, the Mavericks can not only avoid triggering the second rich line, but also allow the Mavericks to flexibly use a taxpayer middle-class special case worth $5.7 million. NBA famous reporter Shams pointed out incisively that Irving is not expected to return until January next year. The Mavericks can sign a defender for emergency response with a $5.7 million middle-class special case, with potential targets including Paul, Brogdon, Russell and Schroeder.

The Mavericks are in double happiness, and the three top picks are in double happiness, and the finalization of Gafford and Irving's contract extension is considered to add color to the No. 1 pick. In the new season, the Mavericks' rotation lineup is comparable to luxury: Dark Eyebrow + Irving + Flagg + Soup God + Gafford + Washington + Lefley + Christie + Brandon Williams + Martin + Exam. In the words of fans, the Mavericks' three top picks formation is indeed worth looking forward to, which can not only win the present but also make plans for the future. Even James expressed his envy on the podcast show, and he said bluntly: Flag is lucky than me, he is about to go to a formed team with Hall of Fame players and coaches around him, which will make him very good. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
