NBA Contract Extensions: Key Signings and Missed Deals
The final hours leading up to the deadline for teams and players to agree on contract extensions were filled with both action and some inaction.

Hawks’ Jalen Johnson Secures Five-Year, $150 Million Extension
Jalen Johnson is emerging as a star, averaging 16 points per game last season. This figure is expected to rise as he gains more touches and opportunities alongside Dejonte Murray in New Orleans, making him a strong contender for the Most Improved Player award. The Atlanta Hawks reached a mutually beneficial agreement with Johnson prior to the season, as reported by Chris Haynes and confirmed by the Hawks. “Jalen Johnson embodies the characteristics we look for as an organization, both on and off the court,” stated Hawks General Manager Landry Fields. “He has demonstrated continuous improvement each year and possesses the character and work ethic to further enhance his game davao to north cotabato. He has become a significant part of our team, and we’re excited to continue his development in Atlanta.”
All five years of Johnson’s contract are fully guaranteed with no options for either party. This deal averages to $30 million per season, providing Johnson with generational wealth, and if he develops into the player many expect, it could turn out to be a bargain for the Hawks.
Rockets’ Alperen Sengun Signs Five-Year, $185 Million Extension
Alperen Sengun showcased All-Star potential last season, and his contract extension reflects that value. The question arose: would the Rockets prefer to wait until next summer to assess the market for Sengun (and possibly Jalen Green) before committing? Ultimately, the Rockets and Sengun negotiated a deal that works for both sides—five years at $185 million, averaging $37 million per season. Sengun finished third in the Most Improved Player voting last season, putting up impressive stats averaging 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 53.7% from the field. This contract emphasizes the Rockets’ intention to include Sengun in their building process.
Rockets’ Jalen Green Achieves Unique Three-Year, $109 Million Contract
Typically, teams aim to extend a player off their rookie contract for the longest and lowest possible cost. However, the Rockets’ extension with Jalen Green is a unique case. Shams Charania of ESPN revealed that Green is the first NBA player to successfully negotiate a 2-plus-1 rookie extension worth nine figures. Green emerged as a trailblazer as the first NBA G League Ignite signing in 2020, now landing one of the most unique rookie extensions in history uaap season 84 volleyball standing.
Last season, Green averaged 19. kai estrada6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. While he is aggressive in attacking the basket, he must develop a more consistent jump shot, having shot only 33.2% from beyond the arc last season, with 45% of his shots coming from three-point range. Green is part of a talented Rockets roster featuring youth, including Amen Thompson, Alperen Sengun, Reed Sheppard, and Jabari Smith Jr. Coach Ime Udoka will face the challenge of effectively utilizing both the young talent and seasoned veterans like Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks to elevate the team’s performance this season.
Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga Fails to Reach Agreement
Jonathan Kuminga will enter free agency next summer after the Warriors and he could not come to an agreement on a contract, as reported by Anthony Slater of The Athletic ncaa season 99 final four. The two sides were reportedly not very close, with the Warriors seeking a favorable deal while Kuminga believes he can prove himself worthy of a maximum or near-maximum contract. This season, Kuminga will have the opportunity to showcase his abilities as the Warriors look for a reliable second scoring option alongside Stephen Curry.
Pelicans’ Trey Murphy III Signs Four-Year, $112 Million Deal
Trey Murphy III was one of the early signers on Monday, and in hindsight, this deal could prove beneficial for New Orleans—four years at $112 million with no options on either side, as reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic. Murphy, a reliable 3-and-D wing, averaged 14.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game last season while shooting 38% from beyond the arc in a reserve role. He is also an excellent wing defender who may step into a larger role this season, although New Orleans’ rotation remains uncertain, especially with a center position that is still determined (potentially filled by Herb Jones) and Brandon Ingram being on the trade market.
Wizards’ Corey Kispert Agrees to Four-Year, $54 Million Extension
The Wizards are likely undergoing a significant roster overhaul as they rebuild, yet they secured a four-year, $54 million extension for Corey Kispert, as reported by Marc Stein. Kispert averaged 13.4 points per game last season with a shooting percentage of 38.3% from the three-point line .
