Overview

  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has parted ways with his longtime agents at Wasserman and will now handle his own contract negotiations.
  • The 26-year-old Thunder guard is eligible for a four-year, $294.3 million supermax extension starting in the 2027-28 season, contingent on salary cap projections.
  • Gilgeous-Alexander is having an MVP-caliber season, leading the league in scoring with 32.5 points per game and guiding the Thunder to the NBA's best record at 44-10.
  • NBA players like Jaylen Brown have publicly supported SGA’s decision, reflecting a growing trend of self-representation among athletes.
  • While SGA will represent himself in contract talks, he continues to work with Isla Management for marketing and off-court ventures.
