Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has parted ways with his agent, Thad Foucher of Wasserman. Now, the 26-year-old will represent himself on his next contract. This summer, SGA is eligible to sign a supermax extension up to $300 million. In the past, Thad Foucher has represented other high-profile Thunder players like Russell Westbrook. NBA insider Chris Haynes was the first to report this news about SGA.
Sources say the Thunder can offer Gilgeous-Alexander a four-year, $296 million extension. In 2030-31, SGA would become the first NBA player with an $80+ million salary. NBA agents charge a maximum of four percent. With SGA representing himself, he’s expected to save around $11.76 over the four years of this proposed extension. For all of his off-the-court ventures, SGA will retain his representation.
Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid and LA’s James Harden are two other high-profile players who represent themselves. Embiid’s three-year, $192 million deal starts in the 2026-27 season. Harden is on a two-year, $70 million deal with the Clippers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is likely on his way to winning league MVP in 2024-25. He’s going to receive a massive extension from the Thunder this summer. This is the third straight season SGA is averaging 30+ points per game. Can the PG continue to elevate his game and take OKC on a deep postseason run?
