The so-called NBA supermax contract — which encourages teams to re-sign their own veteran players for a significant amount of money based off certain criteria like being named to All-NBA teams, winning MVP or Defensive Player of the Year — has been an intriguing addition to the league.
We’ve seen it used to keep superstars happy — most recently, Jaylen Brown got one from the Celtics — and we’ve seen it backfire sometimes if those superstars take a step back or demand to be traded.
We’re focusing on the veteran extensions, despite the fact that a rookie supermax is also possible.
Let’s look back at who’s signed them since 2017:
