With the deepening of the offseason, many teams have completed the upgrade and reinforcement of the lineup, but some historical records that are difficult to break have also been born. Among them, the new contract of Spurs coach Popovich is enough to go down in history, the Warriors spent a new high on building a luxurious lineup, and the Thunder became the big winner this summer.
The first is the San Antonio Spurs. After this veteran team selected the coveted champion Lang Wenbanyama, they quickly renewed the contract of the old coach Popovich, hoping to train the former into an upgraded version of Duncan. To this end, the Spurs provided Popovich with a five-year contract extension worth $80 million, making him the most expensive head coach in NBA history. Previously, the Pistons provided the best coach winner Monty Williams with a six-year contract worth $78.5 million, making him the most expensive coach at the time. In just two months, Popovich broke the record held by Williams.
At present, Popovich is 74 years old and is the oldest coach in NBA history. He is also the coach with the most wins in NBA history. He has a record of 1,366 wins and 761 losses in his career. Regarding the reason for continuing to coach, Popovich was outspoken, saying that money was the reason for him to continue coaching.
Record 2 is from the Oklahoma City Thunder. After completing a 1-for-4 trade recently, they have become the biggest winners this summer, and they will be the team with the most draft picks in the next 7 years. Earlier, the Thunder sent veteran Mills to the Hawks in exchange for Jr. Tae-Washington, Usman Garuba, Rudy Gay and a future sub. As a result, the Thunder have as many as 35 draft picks over the next seven years, including as many as 15 first-round picks. Today, the Thunder has potential new stars such as Alexander, Chet Holmgren, No. 10 pick Wallace, Jedi, etc. The future of the team is limitless!
The third elusive record was set by the Warriors, who brought the number of players under contract to 13 after signing center Dario Saric earlier. The contract value of only 13 players reached 207 million U.S. dollars, the luxury tax that needs to be paid is as high as 189 million U.S. dollars, and the total expenditure is 396 million U.S. dollars, setting an NBA single-season record in one fell swoop. The team currently still has 2 official spots. If nothing else, the Warriors are expected to be the first team in league history with a total expenditure of more than 400 million.Return to Sohu to see more
