NBA free agency started on Thursday night and teams wasted no time throwing loads of money at some of the biggest stars in the league – and at some other, well, non-stars. Nikola Jokic agreed to a five-year, $264 million deal with the Nuggets, the biggest deal in NBA history.
Bradley Beal and Devin Booker both got more than $220 million, too, and even Lu Dort got $87.5 million from the Thunder.
As is the case every year, fans and players from other sports are in awe of the sizable deals NBA players are signing this offseason, and they’re guaranteed – unlike the majority of contracts in the NBA.
