Oklahoma City Thunder are about to deliver Shai Gilgeous-Alexander a whole bank, says NBA veteran

Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has all that it takes to land one of the most expensive trades in the NBA or have a contract extension with his current team at a hike no one has ever heard before.

Alexander’s MVP win on top of leading his team to a record breaking 68-14 and majorly contributing in making his team the No. 1 seed in the NBA playoffs seem to be enough to draw an unbelievable raise. And Former NBA player Quentin Richardson seems to have confirmed the same in his recent comments.

NBA veteran on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s future prospects

Quentin Richardson said on The Pat McAfee Show recently, “The Oklahoma City Thunder are about to deliver a whole bank, not the Brinks truck, a whole bank is about to be sitting at Shai's.

Very good for him."

Commenting on Richardson’s remark, an NBA fan wrote on X, “Better make sure they don't accidentally bump into him in the process or he might flop himself halfway to Dallas.” Another said, “Shai about to have direct deposit from the Federal Reserve.” Sharing agreement if such a thing takes place, a fan wrote, “As they should! Shai’s been elite—MVP-level season. Thunder locking him down long-term is a no-brainer.”

The NBA insiders are of the view that Gilgeous-Alexander would get a massive contract extension raise for the new season and it could be as huge as a whopping $380 million for five years. The Oklahoma City Thunder are currently playing against the Minnesota Timberwolves and lead the series by 3-1. They are just a little away from entering the NBA finals. And the MVP announcement came in between the games, boosting the team and Alexander’s confidence even more.

He is currently leading the league with an average of 32.7 points per game, along with 5.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and an impressive 51.9 percent field goal percentage.Also Read: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander goes all out, treats teammates to over $10K in gifts including iPhones, custom jackets and RolexesThe player recently celebrated his MVP win in a big way.
