Jalen Williams agrees to max rookie extension

Another day, another quarter-billion dollar commitment in place. The Thunder's big three–Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams–has now signed through the 2030/31 season after JDub's reported agreement: five years, $239 million starting at 25% of the cap, with Rose rule incentives to bump that up to $287 million starting at 30% of the cap. Williams has a realistic shot of triggering those incentives before the deal kicks in for the 2026/27 campaign.

JDub is fast becoming a decorated star, the second option for a title team and a key cog in OKC's scalable, suffocating defense.
