THUNDER WIRE - The NBA champion announced they have officially signed Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren to contract extensions.

The franchise cornerstones put ink to paper. Williams reportedly signed a five-year, $287 million extension. Holmgren reportedly signed a fiveyear, $250 million extension. Both deals will keep them in OKC through the 2030-31 season.

It’s been quite the offseason for the Thunder. Fresh off capturing the Larry O’Brien trophy, the celebrations continued into July. They had the chance to lock down Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams and Holmgren to longterm deals this summer. Boom. Boom. Boom. All three are done. Gilgeous-Alexander wasted little time signing a four-year, $285 million supermax extension that’ll keep him in OKC through the 2030-31 season. It was the biggest contract he could’ve signed for this summer. The Thunder gladly backed up the Brink’s trucks for the MVP winner.

Now, the Thunder have their star trio under contract for the rest of the decade. That’s nearly a billion dollars tied up in three players. But hey, it’s champagne problems any other team would gladly deal with. They’ve already won one NBA championship with this group and could be in line for more.
