THE ＄200 MILLION CLUB

Anthony Edwards: Agreed to a five-year, $260 max contract extension with the Minnesota Timberwolves
Tyrese Haliburton: Agreed to a five-year, $260 million supermax contract extension with the Indiana Pacers.
Desmond Bane: Agreed to a five-year, $207 million max contract extension with the Memphis Grizzlies.
LaMelo Ball: Agreed to a five-year extension worth up to $260 million with the Charlotte Hornets.
Domantas Sabonis: Agreed to a new five-year extension worth $217 million with the Sacramento Kings.

タイリース・ハリバートンのスーパーマックス契約にはやや驚きましたが、キングスからトレードされてペイサーズで覚醒した若きコンボガードの将来性に期待しての契約でしょうね～

アンソニー・エドワーズ、ラメロ・ボールはエースとしての延長を、サボニスはキングスの久々のプレイオフ進出の立役者として今後もチームに欠かせないため、順当と言えば順当ですが、スーパースターかと言われると謎が残るラインナップには変わりなく、改めて今年のFAは不作だと感じざるを得ませんね～

THE ＄100 MILLION CLUB

Jerami Grant: Agreed to a five-year, $160 million contract to stay with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Fred VanVleet: Agreed to a three-year, $130 million max contract with the Houston Rockets.
Kyrie Irving: Agreed to a three-year, $126 million contract to stay with the Dallas Mavericks.
Cam Johnson: Agreed to a four-year, $108 million contract to stay with the Brooklyn Nets.
Khris Middleton: Agreed to a three-year, $102 million contract to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Kyle Kuzma: Agreed to a four-year, $102 million contract to return to the Washington Wizards.
Draymond Green: Agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract to stay with the Golden State Warriors.

フレッド・バンブリートのMAX契約には流石に驚きましたね～

ロケッツは今年のドラフト4位でアメン・トンプソンを指名し、3年目のジェイレン・グリーンとガードの成長株が多いだけに渋滞しないか心配です。

また、ルカ・ドンチッチ率いるマブスもカイリー・アービングを延長するとは想定外でしたｗ

これはどう転ぶかさっぱりわからないですねｗ

メイソン・プラムリーとラッセル・ウエストブルックを格安で延長したクリッパーズは、今季こそと言わんばかりでしょう。　怪我ももちろん気になりますがかなり期待がかかりますね～

そしてディアンジェロ・ラッセル、オースティン・リーブス、八村塁と若手との契約延長で引き止めに成功したレイカーズも英断と言って良い気がします。

バックスは現状維持、セルツはポルジンギスがどう作用するか見ものですねw

そして何より渡邊雄太！！　ブラッドリー・ビールを加えたことで完全なスコアラー主体のチームとなった優勝候補サンズに、FA初日に契約を締結させました！！　嬉しいですね～！！
